I felt the exact same, that this line is this generation's "Origins of Marvel Comics" series, just without the Stan Lee reflections.  I love the way this book was assembled, and I have already placed my order for the two upcoming 1970 volumes. 

I didn't research it , but I'm assuming the only con to the series is that Shang Chi will be omitted in the '70s volume where it would fit in the timeline.  Conan, too, though he wasn't a Marvel creation.
