The dates I have for GOLDEN AGE OF MARVEL COMICS were Oct'97 & Jan'99.

There was also (comic-book format, not squarebound)...

TIMELY COMICS PRESENTS: THE HUMAN TORCH (1999), A reprint of HUMAN TORCH #5 (Fall'41), the 60-page story, "THE HUMAN TORCH BATTLES THE SUB-MARINER AS THE WORLD FACES DESTRUCTION!"

MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS #1 (Dec'99). This contained stories with The Human Torch, The Vision, Sub-Mariner, Hurricane, The Angel, The Silver Scorpion and Captain America. (NOT a reprint of the actual MMC #1, just a random anthology.)

TIMELY PRESENTS: ALL-WINNERS #19 (Dec'99, reprint from Fall'46)



The HUMAN TORCH and ALL-WINNERS reprints looked like they were scanned right off the original comics, and looked EXACTLY like actual, real original Golden Age comics... except printed on better paper. But even that was slightly yellow, not white (or maybe the paper was white but the reproduction made the paper look yellow?). BEST-looking Golden Age reprints I had EVER seen from Marvel at the time.



When they later did the MARVEL 65TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL #1 (Oct'04), I thought it was an inexcusable DISGRACE, since 5 years earlier they had already proven how damn good they could do Golden Age reprints. The '04 comic was possibly the WORST-looking Golden Age reprint I had ever seen, and apparently was a "sampler" of the 1st MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS MASTERWORKS Vol.1, which I never saw, but was notoriously AWFUL.
