Marvel Universe Gallery: 1990-1994 Trading Card Collection HC | Dark Horse

An oversized full-cover hardcover that completely collects high-quality captures of the vintage Marvel Universe trading cards from 1990–1994! In 1990, after decades as a leader in the comics industry, Marvel Comics joined forces with Impel Marketing to enter the booming business of collectable trading cards. Though classically dominated by the likes of pro athletes, the marketplace at the end of the twentieth century was overtaken by trading cards for other popular media. Marvel Universe Trading Cards smashed into the scene with a shockwave that sent collectors and fans rushing to acquire every entry in each annual set—from iconic stalwarts like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Doctor Doom, to more esoteric sensations like Bloodseed, Slayback, and Deadzone! Not only did these cards feature dynamic original art, but fans could finally reference their favorite characters’ abilities, origins, and alternate identities in the pre-internet halcyon days! Now, Marvel and Dark Horse team up to assemble and showcase the complete Marvel Universe Trading Card collection from 1990 to 1994—nearly 1,000 cards, including rare chase holograms, foils, and acetates. Each card is represented in exacting detail, with commentary throughout from Marvel veterans. The Marvel Universe Gallery is a chance to examine an anchor point in Marvel history through cards that turned a generation into Marvel maniacs overnight!
