Fantastic Four Omnibus Vol. 4 collects the close of the most influential creative run in Marvel history and the transition that followed. It gathers Fantastic Four #94-125 — Jack Kirby's final issues on the title (his last is #102) — and then continues past his departure as Stan Lee is joined by John Romita Sr. and John Buscema, with the peerless inks of Joe Sinnott. It documents the end of an era and the passing of the FF art baton, in an oversized hardcover built for these classics.

Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 3 keeps the original run moving from the late Stan Lee period into Roy Thomas, with John Romita Sr. and Gil Kane shaping Peter Parker's world. It is a transitional volume: campus life, romance, villains and Marvel New York all keep expanding around Spider-Man.

Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 2 moves the original series into the John Romita Sr. era, where Peter Parker's world becomes brighter, more romantic and more socially tangled. Mary Jane Watson steps fully onto the stage, the Kingpin arrives, and Spider-Man's supporting cast starts to feel like a living Marvel soap opera.
