Seven years is a long time between series of trading cards. But when the focus is comic book first issues, there’s a lot to draw from. 1991 Comic Images Marvel 1st Covers Series II follows up on the previous release from 1984. Not only did that set come out years earlier, but it was put out by a different manufacturer, FTCC.
1991 Comic Images Marvel 1st Covers Series II Checklist Details
The entire 100-card base set is exactly as the name suggests. Each card highlights a different #1 issue put out by the comic giant. Most of these are Bronze Age releases that came out after 1984 when the first set came out. However, there are comics dating back as far as 1972. The checklist is a mix of ongoing and limited series, classic titles and some that are largely forgotten. It’s a representation of the company’s superhero offerings.
Fronts have the comic cover surrounded by a plain white border. Backs list the issues’ creators and have a brief synopsis in the form of “Contents Capsule.” Surrounding the text is an ornate illustrated frame that features several big-name Marvel heroes like Spider-Man and Captain America.
1991 Comic Images Marvel 1st Covers Series II has no additional insert sets.
Today, cards aren’t as rare as a lot of Comic Images’ other Marvel sets. But the set is also significantly tougher that Impel’s Marvel Universe Series 2, which also came out in 1991.
