About this Collection

This 1975 collection from Simon and Schuster serves as a follow-up to the earlier 'Origins of Marvel Comics,' reprinting the first appearances and origin stories of additional classic Marvel characters. It includes tales of heroes like the X-Men, Doctor Strange, the Hulk, and others, presented with commentary by Stan Lee. The volume offers readers a deeper dive into the foundational myths of the Marvel Universe during its Silver Age.

In "X-Men," Matt Murdock fights to protect the innocent even as tragedy strikes—saving a blind man from a truck only to lose his own sight in a radioactive accident. The blast awakens his heightened senses, forging a new path as a lawyer and vigilante. With his roommate Foggy by his side and a legacy of violence to confront, Matt dons a costume and becomes Daredevil, hunting the men behind his father’s murder. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Bill Everett, with inks by Sol Brodsky and Steve Ditko, this story features a cover by John Romita.
