More fuel for the Marvel maniac’s fire! As Stan the Man says of the Supervillains in this volume: “Sure, I know they’re evil. Sure, I know they’re up to no good. Sure, I know they’re a threat to our wallets, our freedom, and they may be injurious to our health. (But) I’ve always been fascinated by the villains. And… you’ve got to admit our heroes need them – as much as Blue Cross!”

Included in this expose of evil are Doctor Doom, Marvel’s answer to Professor Moriarty; the Red Skull, the only baddie created before the Marvel Age of Comics; the Green Goblin, a good guy when he’s not being a bad guy, and a devoted father; and Mephisto, the complete entity of evil. Bring on the Bad Guys is another valiant volume in the Marvel saga; the Supervillains strike back!

The supervillains covered in this book include:
Dr. Doom
The Dread Dormmamu
Loki
Red Skull
Green Goblin
Abomination
Mephisto
