Next week, The Folio Society will release Marvel Unforgettable Stories, a collection of classic tales curated by Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum. And Comic Book Club can exclusively reveal that the company will be releasing an extremely limited supply — 100, total — of copies signed by Oswalt and Blum.
The 100 signed copies will be available Monday (November 25, 2025) at 4pm UK / 11am EST / 8am PT.
“Jordan Blum and I—both lifelong comics readers and ‘make mine Marvel’ fanatics—had a hard time picking only ten stories for this collection,” writes Patton Oswalt in the book’s introduction, provided via press release to Comic Book Club. “I can hear the bleats and rumblings of, ‘But you didn’t include . . .’ and ‘How could you forget . . .’ Lemme save your vocal cords the stress—you’re right. Any objections you have to any stories being passed over? You’re right. There’s simply too many to print under one cover. Hey, maybe buy this edition, and get all of your friends to buy one, and they’ll let us pick ten more! Capitalism!”
In the 280-page hardcover, Oswalt and Blum curate comics ranging from The Amazing Spider-Man #33, aka the issue where Peter is trapped under tons of steel; to Hawkeye #11, aka the Pizza Dog POV issue. The collection also includes a brand new cover and slipcase designed by Marcos Martin, and an introduction by Oswalt.
“Unlike so many ‘best-of’ collections, here Patton and Jordan have carefully provided a favourite selection of the comics that have defined their love of Marvel,” said James Rose, Head of Editorial at the Folio Society. “It’s a personal journey through some of Marvel’s most unforgettable stories. Housed in a hardback volume featuring artwork by Marvel artist Marcos Martín, the selection also includes one or two surprises.”
Marvel Unforgettable Stories hits stores on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, with the signed copies available, as mentioned, on Monday, November 25, 2024, while supplies last. The non-signed edition is on sale for $100, and you can check out the full lineup of stories included, below.
