The eight-volume series will collect stories from the company's history.

Next year marks the 80th anniversary of the release of Marvel Comics No. 1, and to celebrate, Marvel Entertainment has announced a new, eight-volume series of collected editions highlighting the history of the company to the present day.

Each volume of the series, titled Decades, will — as the name suggests — feature stories taken from a 10-year-period of Marvel’s output alongside commentary tracing the history of the company in context of the pop culture and political events from the time. Volumes will be released on a monthly basis, starting with Decades: Marvel in the '40s — The Human Torch vs. The Sub-Mariner; Decades: Marvel in the '50s — Captain America Strikes!; Decades: Marvel in the '60s — Spider-Man Meets The Marvel Universe; and Marvel in the '70s — Legion of Monsters.
