Old-school Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

I love old-school OHMUs. I picked up a handful at Wizard-Con. I really like the art and the way they really went all-out with the bios and power descriptions.

I picked out few examples of my favorite art from the stack I bought. WARNING! 80s fashion and hair-cuts ahoy!




Wave back at Devil Dinosaur!



Pre-movie Blade.



Boom-Boom's Madonna phase.



Bullseye with great crazy-eyes.



Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine (Fury's main-squeeze) look was later stolen by Rogue.



Meggan is just too adorable.



Moon Boy! Devil Dinosaur's BFF.



Persuasion, the Purple Man's daughter.



Look at Jubilee's scary Joker-grin.



Killraven's Playgirl pose.



Madame Hydra, Dr. Freud on line one for you.



I loved Psylocke's old-school look.



Razorback! A mutant trucker from Arkansas.



I almost forgot! Apparently Whoopi Goldberg was in Power Pack as Numinus.


Love these books.

As 80s as it was, I loved Boom-Boom's look there.

And I loved the OHOTMU's as a whole. Very fun reading, both for the wow of getting all the information on my favorite characters (before you could just wiki it), and also for seeing characters I'd never heard of.

Oh, and Razorback... you gotta love a guy who realizes his mutant power is to drive anything... and so he dresses up in a giant boar costume.
