Looking for a specific Marvel comic, early '80's

[Doctor Strange]

So I've had many Marvel comics at various times but there is one that is rather obscure , but I'm sure many hear may know what I'm referring too....Sometime between about 1981-1983 or so, Marvel put out a very interesting comic that wasn't a story. It was really cool to me at the time , and now for nostalgia, and I'd love to find another copy of it. Basically, it was like a catalog of all of Marvels superheroes at that time, and was sort of like the equivalent of a baseball card for a baseballplayer....It listed each superhereos strength, their powers, and other facts about them and a short biography. I think it was one or two pages per superhero. I would LOVE to find another copy of that....it was a very satisfying read for the teenage me, for my 'must have a ranked, order in terms of weightlifting strength,etc,etc' to know who was physically stronger, who had stronger superpowers,etc....LOL...Does anyone remember this and/or have a link to screen shots/where to buy ,etc?

Thanks

Was it the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offici...arvel_Universe

First published 83-84.

[Doctor Strange]

That has to be it....but, I don't remember it being part of an edition...Seems like it was a 'one-off', because it seems to have had all the superheroes at the time, and not divided up alphabetically, although my memory is fuzzy lol...maybe a precursor to the series? I can't remember what the cover looked like either...the google search for those from your link didn't ring any bells..thanks!

Are you sure it was a comic and not something from the Marvel Super-Heroes rpg released by TSR in 1984?
