From 1975–81, Marvel created seven consecutive calendars that were as artistically designed and captivatingly written as any of their comic books. Each of these annual calendars—whether they celebrated the Bicentennial (1976) or spotlighted a specific character such as Spider-Man (1978), Hulk (1979), or Doctor Strange (1980), featured heroes and villains across the pantheon of the Marvel Universe—and all shared inspired features. These included visual call-outs for birthdays of noted Marvel staff and creators; key moments in Marvel history; special events, famous quotes from fan-favorite issues, and other celebratory mentions; with exclusive art from iconic Marvel artists, created especially for these calendars by Jack Kirby, John Buscema, John Byrne, Frank Miller, Walter Simonson, Gil Kane, George Pérez, Gene Colan, Jim Starlin, Sal Buscema, Mike Ploog, and dozens more.
Never before has all of this astounding art been reprinted, and the complete set of covers, interiors, and gorgeously designed monthly entries are reproduced at their original size in this beautiful, oversize hardcover package. Also included is new commentary, rare promotional materials, and an introduction by longtime Marvel writer/editor/historian Roy Thomas. The years might keep ticking away, but the work collected in this special book remains timeless!
“These calendars showcase some of the greatest artwork ever done in comics. I’ve been waiting a long, long time for this book.” —Alex Ross
Fans will light up with this deluxe calendar featuring 12 black-light images of celebrated Marvel Comics characters, including Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk, illustrated by legendary artists Jack Kirby, John Romita Sr., Gene Colan, and others.
Printed in fluorescent inks on high-quality paper, this over-sized calendar features a perforated grid to transform the images into 12 easily frameable 11 x 14-inch art prints.
First published in 1971 by Marvel Comics and famed novelty publisher the Third Eye, Inc., the original Marvel black light posters are legendary among comics fans, and this vibrant, far-out collection is sure to brighten lives.
Because 1975 and 2025 share the same calendar dates, it is only fitting to reissue the original Mighty Marvel Calendar, first published fifty years ago and now a timeless classic from the Bronze Age of the Marvel Universe.
Spiral-bound and printed on sturdy cardstock, the Mighty Marvel Calendar features Super Heroes and Super Villains, alike, with visual call-outs throughout the year for birthdays of noted Marvel staff and creators, key moments in Marvel history, famous quotes from fan-favorite issues, and other celebratory mentions. Each month is dedicated to a different Marvel character or group from Spider-Man and Daredevil to the Avengers and the Fantastic Four.
As artistically designed and captivatingly written as any of the Marvel comic books, this calendar features original art created especially for it by iconic Marvel artists, including Jack Kirby, John Buscema, John Romita Sr, Gil Kane, Gene Colan, and others. Celebrated Marvel editor-in-chief and historian Roy Thomas wrote and edited it.
