Hey, we’re all about Batman’s 80th anniversary right now but let’s not forget that Marvel’s celebrating eight decades too — though the House of Ideas as we know it has kinda-sorta only been around since 1961.

But you get the gist and the publisher has been having a grand ol’ time publishing all sorts of tributes and specials.

Well, get ready for another one that looks pretty dang intriguing: Marvel 80 for 80 — an oversized hardcover featuring what the company calls “unforgettable covers, splash pages, posters, pinups, panels and sequences by an array of timeless talents.”

Here’s the official solicitation info, released Tuesday:
