Growing up, I couldn't get enough of comic books (I even got a gig alphabetizing them in a warehouse one summer in exchange for store credit), and I was particularly fond of Marvel's catalog from the Bronze Age, as that's when so many great horror titles (such as The Tomb of Dracula and Werewolf by Night) emerged from the shadows. It is with especially great pleasure, then, that we're exclusively debuting a horror-centric, Bronze Age preview of Titan Comics' new illustrated book, Marvel Comics: The First 80 Years, ahead of its November 24th release.
