The first ongoing series, under the guise of "Marvel Feature", starring Red Sonja as the main character. The series was stopped with issue 7 and was replaced by Red Sonja's first own ongoing series, Red Sonja.

In the tradition of Marvel Fanfare Vol.1, the series was restarted years later with this second volume. The series however didn't last long, ending with it's 6th issue.

This issue also began Allen Milgrom's series of fun little "Editori-Als." In this first edition, Allen talked about the series begin printed on paper special reserved for comic book covers, thus raising the price of this comic.

Every issue features original cutaway artwork that reveals hidden secrets, detailed profiles of characters, a history of the teams, and a timeline of Marvel's greatest battles, plus inside information about the history of Marvel Comics.

Before Marvel Comics returned to their Official Handbook formula, they published 7 different encyclopedia's with profiles on much of the well-known Marvel characters. Only volume 3, the Hulk, is different from the other volumes, with no profiles, but stories about the Hulk and how he came to be and his run through the years.

In the tradition of TALES TO ASTONISH, it's two classic characters in one cool comic! First, it's The Hulk by writer/artist Rob Haynes (DAREDEVIL: NINJA) ? then it's Thor by writer Marlan Harris and internationally-acclaimed artist Kia Asamiya!
