Written by ROY THOMAS, CHRIS CLAREMONT, LEN WEIN, DOUG MOENCH and TONY ISABELLA. Art by GIL KANE, JOHN BYRNE, LARRY HAMA, ARVELL JONES and PAT BRODERICK. Cover by GIL KANE. In 1974, nobody was kung-fu fighting like Marvel Comics, and at the forefront of the craze was Daniel Rand - the Iron Fist! A Himalayan expedition in search of the mystical mountain city of K'un-Lun left 9-year-old Daniel's father murdered by his partner Harold Meachum and his mother dead. However, Daniel found the path to the K'un-Lun, and there he spent a decade training under its immortal inhabitants. After years of ceaseless tutelage, he became an unmatched master of martial arts and spiritual control; armed with the shattering power of the iron fist, he left immortality behind to set out into the Western world and avenge his parents' deaths. Packed with wall-to-wall kung-fu action, Iron Fist runs a gauntlet through the Kara-Kai death cult and ninja adversaries, and into mystic dimensions where the battle must be fought with mind and spirit. But Iron Fist's saga not only follows Daniel Rand's quest for vengeance - it also introduces Marvel mainstays Colleen Wing and Misty Knight, guest stars the Marvel Bullpen, and brings together for the very first time the creative team of Chris Claremont and John Byrne! It's the beginnings of a true comic-book classic that can only be called a MARVEL MASTERWORKS! Hardcover, 256 pages, full color. NOTE: Limited to 964 copies. Cover price $54.99.

"Book I: The Saga Begins!" Research done by Peter Sanderson. Wraparound cover by Rob Frenz and Bob Layton. Marvel Comics presents one of the most unique comics series in the history of the media. This series tells the Official History of the Marvel Universe from the very beginning in chronological order using actual scenes from the comics themselves. From Galactus and the enigmatic Watchers to the 1,000-year galactic war between the Kree and Skrull Empires to the Celestials' first visit to a young planet called Earth and the creation of the powerful Eternals and hideous Deviants. Peek in on the Hyborian Age when a mighty barbarian fought terrible wizards to an age when gods walked the earth and names like Hercules became legend. From King Arthur's Court to the heroes of the Wild West to the brave men and women that fought in World War II, it is all just prelude to the dawn of the Marvel Age! 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. Plus, another brilliant man, Henry Pym, makes a startling discover that allows him to shrink down to the size of an "ant!" And, the Fantastic Four come face-to-face with the shape-shifting aliens known as Skrulls for the very first time. 32 pages, FC.
