1994 Second Quarter Report

Background

From a collector's standpoint, one of the most interesting aspects of the Marvel Comic's Board of Directors taking the comicbook company public in 1991 was that when the company began issuing quarterly and annual reports, those reports (unlike similar reports of other publicly-traded companies) were issued in the form of comicbooks. These comicbooks/reports have since become collectible items on their own.

Story 'Marvel Action Hour'

This is another of Marvel's Quarterly reports. This is a four-page, report produced on card stock, spouting facts and figures about the company. This report spotlights several Avengers, including Spider-Woman (Carpenter) who was a West Coast Avenger for a while.

General Comments

Nothing exciting about this four-page mid-year report contains information about Marvels business dealings thus far in 1994. Spider-Man does not appear in this report.

Overall Rating

This one is not so much fun as it doesn't contain Spidey (or comics).

Footnote

Only shareholders were entitled to receive quarterly reports so it is a fair bet that most of them got tossed. However, anyone (shareholder or not) could request an annual report, so it is possible that there are more of them available. However, it is not known how many quarterly reports were published.
