Just the Facts, Ma'am.

Since I first saw this advertised several weeks ago, I knew I had to get it. Especially since it is only 299 yen and the first set of Fact Files comes with a binder!

The binder is separated by tabs, I think you can figure out what is covered by each of the tabs.

I didn't properly photograph the title for the above, it refers to "Cosmic". "Real Marvel" below refers to the Creators and Evolution of Marvel Comics.

These are the tab headers. I do like the use of Captain Marvel for Cosmic.

It starts with a full-page spread, highlighting the highlights.

I'm only going to showcase features that fall within the realm of the "Silver Age", from 1961-1986.

Marvelous!

Who else but Wolverine should be showcased in X-Men for the first issue of Fact Files?

Some iconic Silver Age Avengers covers.

FF #1 with the first appearance of the FF.

Marvel Knights has our favourite ninjess, Elektra.

Hmm. I wonder why the Infinity Gauntlet was used prominently in the Cosmic section.

One of my favourite Spidey villains, the Lizard.

Steve Ditko, asleep at his desk.

For the next issue comes the inevitable price increase to 680 yen though apparently it includes a present.

Finally, there is an ad for a set of Badges featuring iconic covers. I've only seen them sold at one venue and they are close to 5 bucks, so I haven't picked any up yet.

I'll let you know what happens in the next installment!
