This series tells the Official History of the Marvel Universe from the very beginning in chronological order using actual scenes from the comics themselves.

In this first spectacular issue, witness the origin of the Fantastic Four and their very first harrowing adventure to Monster Island to confront the diminutive Mole Man. Meanwhile, travel north of the border to Canada and watch as inventor James MacDonald plants the seeds of what will become Canada's greatest super heroes.

Cover by Ed Hannigan and John Romita. If things weren't crazy enough inside Baron von Shtupf's castle with the Frankenstein Monster present...now enter the Man-Wolf! Where in the world did he come from? The wall-crawler doesn't have time to ponder that question as the claws and teeth of the Man-Wolf attack! Fortunately though, Victor Frankenstein's creation and the web-slinger are able to drive off John Jameson's ferocious alter-ego and also defeat the baron! However, Spider-Man knows he can't leave the dangerous Man-Wolf to freely roam the Balkan countryside. Will the amazing one be able to find the Man-Wolf in the snowy mountains? Or perhaps the better question...will he live (or not live) to regret it? It's a savage struggle for survival in the snow! (Notes: The Frankenstein Monster appears next in Iron Man 102. The Man-Wolf battles the web-slinger again in Amazing Spider-Man 189.) Cover price $0.25.
