Marvel has an abundance of beloved stories and characters, presenting a near-impossible curation challenge for Oswalt and Blum. Oswalt gives further insight into their decision making process in the introduction for Marvel: Unforgettable Stories.
 
"Jordan Blum and I—both lifelong comics readers and 'make mine Marvel' fanatics—had a hard time picking only ten stories for this collection," writes Patton Oswalt in the book’s introduction. "I can hear the bleats and rumblings of, 'But you didn’t include...'  and 'How could you forget...' Lemme save your vocal cords the stress—you're right. Any objections you have to any stories being passed over? You're right. There’s simply too many to print under one cover. Hey, maybe buy this edition, and get all of your friends to buy one, and they'll let us pick ten more!"

Spanning the last 60 years of storytelling, Marvel: Unforgettable Stories collects fan favorite comics from the Silver Age to the present day:
