Editoriale Corno was the premier Italian publisher of Marvel comics throughout the 1970s and 1980s, producing Italian-language editions of virtually every major Marvel title. This 240-figurine album represents the earliest known Italian Marvel sticker product, predating any other Italian entry in the vintage card catalog.

With 240 individual figurine (the Italian term for collectible stickers), this is one of the largest vintage Marvel sticker sets ever produced anywhere. The scope rivals the 252-sticker Venezuelan album and dwarfs contemporary US products.

Italy had one of the richest Marvel comics cultures outside North America in the 1970s. Editoriale Corno’s translations were widely read and the publisher had deep familiarity with the full Marvel roster, which is reflected in the album’s character selection.

Despite its enormous size, this set remains almost entirely undocumented in English-language collecting databases. No complete checklist has been published online, and surviving examples are extremely rare outside Italian collector circles.

Several characters make their first trading card appearances in this Italian set, predating their appearances in US, UK, or other international products.

Released the same year as the Topps Marvel Super Heroes stickers in the US, this Italian album was serving a parallel but independent collector market with far greater character depth.
