Reading through this volume containing short adventure after short adventure featuring Ben Grimm and a rotating cast of Marvel mainstays old and new was a labour of love. Quality was all over the proverbial map, so instead of typing out any kind of coherent review I think I'll just post a few of my favourite panels and covers for your consideration.

While there are a few gems in this collection there are a lot of duds. And the gems seemed to highlight the fact that "a good artist makes all the difference because of the Marvel Method". Let me explain. For the Marvel Method - the writer and the artist hash out the general plot and it is up to the artist to then do all the art and therefore lay out the story and then the writer comes in at the end to put in the dialogue. TBH, I am not sure the MM was still going strong in the 70's but regardless, when Starlin, Byrne and Miller (Frank) draw the story - it is an enjoyable read. When the others draw the story it is a bit of a boring slog.
This collection starts off with one of my favourite marvel tales of all time the conclusion of the original Warlock saga, drawn and written by Jim Starlin. The only reason that inclusion doesn't bump this collection up to a 3 is the fact I have it in 2 other collections (Warlock and Avengers - since it is a two parter with the Avengers).
The other highlights are the two Byrne issues - especially issue 50. It is a time travel story and I wonder if it is one of the first times "change the past and you create a new timeline but you do not alter YOUR future" is stressed in comics. It certainly is used nowadays and it helps overcome the grandfather paradox of time travel (what if I traveled back in time to kill my grandfather - how would I exist now to be able to kill my grandfather?). Anyway - very cool story.
I also enjoyed the Frank Miller drawn issue which had the "floating super hero poker game". I wonder if that was its first appearance (MTIO #51)....I just checked!! it was! Very cool.
But other than those three highlights, the rest of the book is a slog and not as much fun as it should have been with Ben Grimm being the star.
