1975’s Classic MIGHTY MARVEL CALENDAR to Be Re-Released — For 2025!
1975 and 2025 line up, so Abrams ComicArts has big plans… Well, maybe this explains it. Abrams ComicArts had planned the Mighty Marvel Calendar Book: A Visual History, by our pal Chris Ryall, for December 2023 but then delayed it a year. The book covers the entirety of the famed calendars’ history, from 1971 to 1981, but perhaps this was a case of where timing is everything, because coming your way is the Mighty Marvel 2025 Calendar — reprinting the 1975 classic wall-hanger. And it works perfectly because 1975 and 2025 share the same calendar year — and 2025 marks the calendar’s 50th anniversary. So this holiday season, you can give (or get) both the book and a calendar. Not just that, Abrams ComicArts has two other fantastic retro calendars planned: the Marvel Value Stamps 2025 Day-to-Day Calendar and one so spectacular it deserves its own article.

Spiral-bound and printed on sturdy cardstock, the Mighty Marvel Calendar features Super Heroes and Super Villains, alike, with visual call-outs throughout the year for birthdays of noted Marvel staff and creators, key moments in Marvel history, famous quotes from fan-favorite issues, and other celebratory mentions. Each month is dedicated to a different Marvel character or group from Spider-Man and Daredevil to the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. As artistically designed and captivatingly written as any of the Marvel comic books, this calendar features original art created especially for it by iconic Marvel artists, including Jack Kirby, John Buscema, John Romita Sr, Gil Kane, Gene Colan, and others. Celebrated Marvel editor-in-chief and historian Roy Thomas wrote and edited it. Also included are major holidays and observances from...
