It was written by Roger Stern, with a range of different artists including Steve Epting, Mike Manley, Bret Blevins, and Jason Armstrong.The series was intended to have a different setting and core cast for each arc, highlighting events and characters that weren't being used in Marvel's present-day stories.

The Bus Came Back: Grottu, the monstrous "King of the Insects", returns after his initial appearance from 1959 in Strange Tales. The Molten Man-Thing returns after its initial 1959 appearance in Tales of Suspense. Marvel monster Gorgilla, last seen in a 1961 issue of Tales to Astonish, plays a major role in the second arc. The Lizard Men previously appeared in a 1961 Tales to Astonish story.
