Just curious, have you ever read the "Marvels" graphic novel, by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross?
"Cool! That covers some essential Marvel history."
There's some classic stuff in that run: Gwen/Goblin, Punisher, Jackal. One of the first Spideys I ever read was the Power Records reprint of #124 with the Man-Wolf so I'm kind of partial to that part of the series.
I never read the "Marvels" graphic novel--what's that about?
