About This Series:

    A gallery series, based on the popular Marvel Masterpieces trading card series of 1993.  Each page is a full-page illustration of the trading card art.  There's a Table of Contents at the front of each issue, and an Afterword in the back that explains the series and the particular artwork of that issue.  The trading cards are cool, and I do have them, but I prefer this comic series of larger illustrations.  As with any gallery, some portraits are better than others.  I won't name names, but they're all good efforts.
