Condition Report: Very Good. The book presents a tight, square binding with sharp, unbumped corners and a clean, bright, and seemingly unread text block. The boards remain in excellent shape beneath the jacket. The dust jacket retains its vibrant, unfaded artwork but shows some noticeable creasing and slight waviness along the top edge, most prominently at the spine head and upper corners, which slightly downgrades the overall condition from Near Fine. Internally, the pages are entirely pristine, free from any foxing, tearing, or markings, making this a robust copy for any collector despite the minor jacket edge-wear.

Catalogue Note: This is a second edition, first printing of the highly regarded Marvel Omnibus collection. It famously compiles the seminal early science fiction and fantasy stories that defined Marvel's Silver Age, profusely illustrated throughout by industry legends Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby. The volume features vibrant, oversized reproductions of their original artwork.

While a relatively recent publication, Omnibus editions of this calibre often experience swift fluctuations in availability once out of print. It remains a cornerstone volume for collectors, particularly for its inclusion of the historic Amazing Fantasy #15.

Delve into the extraordinary dawn of the Marvel Age with the Amazing Fantasy Omnibus, a monumental collection of the thrilling, suspenseful, and monster-filled tales that paved the way for modern comic book storytelling. Showcasing the unmatched creative synergy of Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Jack Kirby, this massive tome gathers the complete runs of Amazing Adventures and Amazing Adult Fantasy, leading up to the legendary debut of Spider-Man. Packed with atomic-age science fiction, supernatural twists, and towering beasts like "The Terror of Tim Boo Ba!", it is an essential retrospective of the stories that reshaped the comic book landscape forever.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
