History

The first printing of Masterworks books from Marvel started in 1987 (3 or 4 per year) and continued until 1994 (27 volumes) most with a suggested retail price of US $39.95 (Hulk $34.95). The first printings had a marble-look dust-jacket with either light gray/pastel or dark primary colors, and were printed with a number on the spine representing the order in which the volumes were released (e.g., The Amazing Spider-Man: Vol. 1 was #1, The Fantastic Four: Vol. 1 was #2). Volumes contained about 10 issues (plus 1 annual) and were about 220-260 pages each. Some volumes had fewer pages, such as The Invincible Iron Man

The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby, first appearing in Tales of Suspense #39 .A billionaire playboy, industrialist and ingenious engineer,...

: Vol. 1-3
(each under 200 pages). Some volumes also carried a lower suggested retail price than US $39.95. Some volumes have had multiple printings, such as The Amazing Spider-Man: Vol. 1, with seven.

Also during the original Marvel Masterworks run between 1992–1993, Marvel Comics had published lower-priced trade paperback editions of selected volumes in the Masterworks line, but these versions only reprinted half of the contents compared to the hardcover editions. These were:
  • The Amazing Spider-Man Masterworks: Vol. 1 (March 1992) - Reprints Amazing Fantasy #15, The Amazing Spider-Man #1-5 (ISBN 0-8713-5902-2)
  • The Avengers Masterworks: Vol. 1 (October 1993) - Reprints The Avengers #1-5 (ISBN 0-8713-5983-9)
  • The Uncanny X-Men Masterworks: Vol. 1 (March 1993) - Reprints The Uncanny X-Men #1-5 (ISBN 0-8713-5964-2)
  • The All-New, All Different X-Men Masterworks: Vol. 1 (August 1993) - Reprints Giant-Size X-Men #1, The Uncanny X-Men #94-97 (ISBN 0-8713-5988-X)


Even though on the cover each book was labeled as "Volume 1", no subsequent volumes were ever published for these trade paperbacks. Marvel would not try out trade paperback versions of the Masterworks again until 2002.

From 1994–1996, no new Masterworks were published and existing volumes did not get additional printings. Following this, from 1997 to 2002, some of the original 27 went back into print with a new style of dust-jacket designed by Comicraft

 and without the chronological numbering on the spine. Instead, the line used the number of the volume for each particular comic book series. Four new Masterworks were published from 2000 to 2002, bringing the total to 31.

With The Sub-Mariner: Vol. 1, the 32nd Masterwork, Marvel relaunched the line with silver dust-jackets in 2003. From 2002 to 2004, Marvel brought the 31 now out-of-print volumes back into print, all with the new silver dust-jackets. Like the other releases from 1997 on, these dust-jackets do not have the chronological numbering. Upon their initial release, however, a limited print run (about 1000 to 1500) was produced with variant dust-jackets that used the original marble-look style and retained the absolute chronological numbering (only on the dust-jacket's spine). These carried a $5 higher suggested retail price than the regular editions (typically US $54.99).

Some changes were made for the new second editions, with some issues/covers recolored, previously unreprinted pin-up pages added, and some issues were moved between volumes. (Annual issues were amongst the changes made, as Marvel wanted to do a more accurate chronological reprinting of their history than the Masterworks series had previously attained.)

In 2002, Marvel partnered with Barnes & Noble

 to produce lower-priced trade paperback (typically US $12.95) versions of selected Masterworks volumes. Twelve were produced, sans dust-jacket, and they utilized the silver cover scheme.

Starting with the 33rd volume, The Amazing Spider-Man: Vol. 6 (April 2004), Marvel started producing new Masterworks once again, continuing monthly from August 2004. These new books have also been printed with both regular and variant/original cover styles.

Marvel announced in 2008 they had moved their printing plant to China and would reprint the Masterworks in trade paperback to celebrate their 70 years of existence in 2009 at the rate of one a month in the same sequence as the original hardcover printing.

Golden Age Masterworks

In October 2004, Marvel released its first Golden Age collection, Golden Age Marvel Comics: Vol. 1, launching a new line of Masterworks. This 1939 and 1940s line reprints material by Timely Comics
