...issues from the Spider-Man, X-Men, Incredible Hulk, Avengers, Captain America and other titles in Topics Entertainment's Marvel Comic Book Library ($30). We loved the content but found the presentation a bit flat: each book is displayed in your Web browser, and you must click on a thumbnail version of a page to see it up close.

David Ording, of the Fogg Museum’s Mongan Center, contributed a checkerboard of pencil thumbnail drawings of everyday objects seemingly inspired by Chardin’s “The Smoker’s Case,” which is depicted in the upper right corner...
