Clipped from On-Line: Back in 1974 Stan Lee and Marvel came up with the wonderful idea to compile the origins of some of their greatest characters in a book format, similar to what Jules Feiffer did with "The Great Comic Book Heroes" back in 1965.
To the best of my knowledge, there were 27 different Fireside books produced from 1974 to 1980 and many books had multiple printings in both hard and softcover as I have noted after each book below.
