Cool Comic Collectibles MARVEL TREASURY EDITIONS
The Marvel Treasury Edition series ran from 1974-1981.
These oversized comics consisted of mostly reprint material.
The appeal of this series was the size. Even though I owned the stories and art in comics, the size of the pages in these treasury issues really made the art "jump" out at you!
Here's my set. The books are too big for the scanner. I did my best!

As a kid, everytime I walked in the drug store and a new one of these was on the shelf, I'd felt as if I had struck gold. None of mine are in good condition, but these were all read over and over. These more than anything got me collecting comics.
DC also put out some super-sized books.

That's a great collection you have there. I picked up a few of these a while back and agree that they are a really cool format...
