If at first you succeed, mark the date and do it again. Before 2026 has even flipped its final page, Marvel fans already have their sights set on 2027. The legendary Marvel Comics Memory Album calendar, first published in 1977, is being reissued for the very first time, proving that great heroes and great years always come back around.
Originally released to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Stan Lee’s modern Mighty Marvel lineup, the 1977 calendar captured a golden age moment when Marvel time was ticking louder than ever. Now, five decades later, that same 12-month, spiral-bound wall calendar returns to remind fans that while years pass, legends are timeless.
This vibrant reproduction delivers a month-by-month journey through Marvel history, faithfully recreated in full color. Each page is adapted from iconic panels by some of Marvel’s most influential artists, including Jack Kirby, John Romita Sr., Gil Kane, John Buscema, and Gene Colan. Their artwork does more than decorate the months. It freezes Marvel’s most powerful moments in time, panel by unforgettable panel.
The calendar grids are packed tighter than a deadline at the Daily Bugle, filled with trivia and insights from Marvel historian and former editor-in-chief Roy Thomas. Every square counts down with fun facts, creator birthdays, and behind-the-scenes notes that make each passing month feel like a countdown to comic book greatness.
Printed on sturdy FSC-certified cardstock with soy-based ink and bound with a durable spiral, the 12 x 12 format opens to a bold 12 x 24 display. It spans January through December 2027 and includes major world holidays and observances, plus Marvel milestones that remind fans when history was made. From Captain America’s unforgettable origin to the Fantastic Four facing off against the Skrulls, every page turns back the clock while pushing excitement forward.
Whether it feels like 1977 or 2027, one thing is certain. Marvel always finds a way to make every year heroic. Time flies, but true believers know that with the right calendar on the wall, every day can be a classic.
