My favorite of all of them. I bought it in 1966 to see what the Human Torch and Namor were like "more than 25 years ago." This issue paved the way for more golden age reprints in Fantasy Masterpieces.

The reprints were a great way for this Bronze Age young man to affordably read Silver Age classics.

…. the double size reprint titles were my gateway to the early Marvel Age as well. I saw this one at a show and it took me back to the Rexall Pharmacy were I bought my first copy of this issue in the 60's. My first mail order was for a copy of #4 …. Ditko was one of my favorites from the beginning. GOD BLESS....

Whenever I see Marvel Tales #2 it brings back memories. 

Bought for me at some roadside place; we were on vacation.  The Smoky Mountains or something, I think.  I sat in the backseat reading and rereading my small batch of Marvels, but I really liked this one because it had the origins of the Avengers and the X-Men.  Such old stories!  I already had a collection of Marvels at home, stored in a dresser drawer and neatly stacked by title.

...So of course, when I got home I cut up the Marvel Tales #2 into sections and restapled each section so I had my Avengers #1 story at the bottom of my small Avengers stack (that at the time started with #15), and the same with my X-Men, Strange Tales, and Astonish piles.

Fortunately, that practice began and ended with Marvel Tales #2 (except for 2 years later, when I cut up all my doubles to make a Marvel scrapbook).  I still have the scrapbook.

I would love love love to see some picture of that if I'm ever so fortunate!The scrapbook that is!
