The 1st Marvel Comics Brand Emblem set highlights the first ten Marvel Comics logos created for the franchise. The set includes sixteen (16) comics highlighting the "first" ten Marvel logos along with a bonus comic featuring the 1st Disney & Marvel Brand Emblem logo. This is the first Marvel set to ever be assembled and auctioned in history.

The first Marvel logo, "A Marvel Magazine, was featured on Willie Comics #5 (Fall 1946). The comic available in this set is the fourth highest grade at a CGC 7.0. The three higher grades of this comic have been confirmed as not for sale.

The comics in this set are some of the rarest Marvel Comics in history with less than 100 copies of the first four comics graded by CGC. All the comics included in this set have been authenticated and graded by CGC.

This is a unique opportunity to add a truly rare Marvel set to your personal collection and includes some of the most historic Marvel Comics in history. The collector who created this set recently wrote a book titled "The Hidden Gems of Marvel Comics". In the book he is quoted stating; At some point every industry experiences a change in perspective when new discoveries are brought to light. In the comic book industry, everyone knows the value of comics lies in “firsts”, the first time a child experiences a comic book, first character appearances (heroes or villains), first cameos of characters, first time there is a new suit or armor, first time an artist starts drawing a character, first time a writer starts writing for a new title, and now, notably, first brand emblems.

A portion of proceeds from this sale of this auction is being donated to Jeremey Renner's RennerVation Foundation to help underprivileged youth.
