When did Iron Man grace the pages of Marvel for the first time? Who are the Hulk's famous sparring partners? Why was Thor banished from the kingdom of Asgard?

The Avengers: The Ultimate Guide to Earth's Mightiest Heroes! is an essential guide for fans of the comic book universe.

Other than the sheer volume of facts and information gathered together in this book, the most impressive aspect is how much love has been poured into the layout. Rather than some bland template design reproduced over and over again the designer/s have approached each page as though it were a new project. It's pretty obvious that this is more than a book written to cash in on comic book fans, this is a labour of love by all involved.

This is a book to be cherished; a volume you can flick to any page and learn a little something you may not have known before. An indispensable book for serious comic book fans everywhere.
