Marvel had many handbooks but--how about a new one but in the same look (but todays art of course) or they can make the newer heroes "80s art" if they want that was never in the 80s. Unlike the later ones that had multiple pages for a hero each hero or bad guy or team gets one page. Like the first series the info, little history and stats with some cool pictures.
In other words, kind of like the first handbook, transformers universe and gijoe order of battle pages. Last issues can be the "book of the dad" again.
They don't need every hero but pick some fun ones like death's head and planet terry with the big ones like hulk and thor and it could be a fun limited series. Of course, the profiles would fit great in a trade later. Marvel could even take on vote what lesser-known heroes to include.
Think marvel should do a retro handbook?
