3) Where did these vintage comics come from?

5) Who’s Roy Thomas? Roy was the first person to succeed Stan Lee as Marvel Comics’ Editor-in-Chief, and throughout his fifty-year career, he helped co-create a number of very memorable characters, including The Vision, Carol Danvers, Iron Fist, and Ultron. For this collector's edition, he helped The Folio Society select the aforementioned comic books before writing an introduction that explains why they’re important to the creation of the Marvel Universe.
