In celebration of Marvel Comics’ 75th Anniversary, Marvel proudly presents a deluxe collection of its 10 mightiest Masterworks hardcovers - plus the all-new, long-in-demand NOT BRAND ECHH VOL. 1 and the AVENGERS 75TH ANNIVERSARY BY ALEX ROSS POSTER signed by none other than Stan "The Man" Lee!

“This is one of the most epic collections Marvel has ever compiled. Not only do these Masterworks retell the origins of Marvel’s iconic heroes, but they are collected and presented in a gorgeous slipcase built to resemble the historic Avengers Mansion,” says David Gabriel, SVP Sales and Marketing. “If that wasn’t enough, this collection is coupled with a beautiful poster signed by Stan Lee. It doesn’t get grander then this!”

Each titanic tome in this limited-edition boxed set features a newly designed cover treatment and interlocking spine artwork, and the slipcase itself is patterned after stately Avengers Mansion!

Fingers crossed for a UK release, don't fancy importing something so weighty.

There's 3016 pages. That's about 16.6 cents a page. That'd mean a 20 "page" comic at this rate would be $3.31. Doesn't seem too far off what we're paying for our weekly comics. Throw in the fact these are hardcovers and the fancy packaging. Very tempting.

Doesn't someone around here owe me $500?

@dagmar_merrill: I agree. Parting with that much at one time is hard, even if it balances out. I'm just saying, this is 'worth' the money. When some hear $500, they might think it's an insane price. I'm just saying it adds up. I'd love to get this but I'd have to really think about it.

Two things that put me off buying this; first is the price and the second is NOT BRAND ECHH
