LOL And this wasn't the first time Masterworks were offered in paperback, either! But it was the first time they were offered in quality paperback.

And I doubt we'd be talking about Marvel today had a certain wall-crawler not been made. At least I wouldn't be. Spider-Man is Marvel to me, even though FF was first, in the way that Bugs Bunny is Looney Tunes to me though Porky Pig was first.
