600 pages of this are pure gold. Just lovely stuff, much of which was a mystery to me because of the way Marvel reprinted the stories in the early 90s. Unfortunately I won't pretend that I had much interest in the early stuff... or the Claremont stuff, really.

I mostly read this as background for Betsy and Meggan; Brian is not my favorite character. But it's incredible seeing the whole history laid out like this, and so many creative minds throughout the decades.
