- Book 1 of 2: The Bill Everett Archives
Amazing Mysteries: The Bill Everett Archives features an endless array of great vintage Bill Everett characters such as Amazing-Man, Hydroman, Skyrocket Steele, Sub-Zero, The Chameleon, and many more, all produced by Everett’s shop Funnies, Inc. for such clients as Centaur, Novelty Press, and Eastern Color, and all displaying Everett’s brilliant cartooning and energetic storytelling. This volume follows the format of Bell’s Steve Ditko Archives series: beautifully restored, full-color stories from one of comic books’ greatest visionaries and most accomplished artists. Also includes an introduction by Bell that delves even deeper into Everett’s life, fiery personality, and the history of the era. The resultant package enhances Everett’s place in history as one of the first and best comic-book creators of all time.

Review
For fans of comics from the dawn of the comic book era, this book is an indispensable gift...--Jason Sacks
The stories and artwork are laughably crude by modern standards, although no more so than those in other comic books from the period. But even the earliest ones show trace sof the sleek polish that would become Everett's hallmark. . . a sign that future volumes in the series will be of even greater interest.--Gordon Flagg
This volume provides an illuminating look at the artist's numerous attempts at catching Sub--Marineresque lightning in a bottle for a second time... Forgotten sci--fi and superhero creations, as well as forays into westerns, historical retellings, and crime comics, populate this loaded volume...
Everett's vivid, varied work... emanated from a man who was a lot like his most famous creation: a destructive antihero, always a little angry at the puny humans around him.
What's exciting for me about this book is watching Everett develop as an artist and storyteller.... What you see here are the glimmers of an artist struggling to comprehend the potential of this relatively new medium.--Chris Mautner
