Hardback. Condition: New. Hard Cover. Fantagraphics 2024. Book condition: New. Full Colour illustrations. The Goddess of Love and SF horror: The eagerly anticipated single volume collecting the 10 rare issues of the overstuffed Venus comics! In the late 1940s, the first half of the Venus series from Marvel Comics predecessors Timely and Atlas Comics was published as a light hearted romance comic about the goddess Venus taking a job on Earth at a beauty magazine. Never a company to miss a trend, Atlas began introducing more science fiction elements in the 1950s, and eventually turned Venus' dating adventures into a straight-out horror anthology. Collected here, 70 years later and for the first time ever, is that swift-changing second half of the 19-issue run. Future Marvel stars Bill Everett (seven issues) and Werner Roth (three issues) take Venus to heights of four-color weirdness and pre-Code horror ghastliness. Everett in particular is given free rein and seizes the opportunity: writing, drawing, and lettering twenty ghoulish and goofy masterpieces, including classics like "Hangman's House," "The Day Venus Vanished," "The House of Terror," "The Sealed Spectors," Tidal Wave of Terror," and the phantasmagorical "Cartoonist's Calamity!" These stories showcase the brilliant draftsmanship and storytelling of Everett, one of the giants of the 1940s and '50's comic book industry. His slick, fluid line rendered at Timely/Atlas, from his seminal god-child Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, to the atomic age Marvel Boy, is some of the finest pre-Code horror this side of E.C.'s Graham Ingels. Series editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo assisted in the compilation of the first volume of Venus for Marvel 13 years ago, and Fantagraphics is delighted to publish the horror half as the second title in The Fantagraphics Atlas Comics Library. 310 pages. Size: 9" x 12" (223mm x 297mm). (2.5). Bill Everett, Werner Roth (illustrator).…

Hardback. Condition: Fine. Hard Cover. Fantagraphics 2026. Book condition: NM - Near Mint. Full Colour illustrations. The latest volume in the Fantagraphics Atlas Creator Collection focuses on the feverishly imaginative Bill Everett's brilliant masterpieces of skeletal horror and oozing, creeping dread. Already a Marvel/Timely legend for his creation of the Sub-Mariner in 1939, Bill Everett returned to Marvel during the 1950s to become Atlas' most versatile and effective practitioner of horror-fantasy. Everett's art was a combination of Graham Ingels, Harry Anderson, and Bernie Wrightson, with the slick ink line of Jack Davis, all melded within his own uniquely captivating imagery and in-your-face ghastliness. Following the magnificent Creator Collections of Joe Maneely and Al Williamson, Fantagraphics is proud to present here for the first time all of Bill Everett's Atlas Pre-Code horror stories in one volume! Includes: "Spectacles of Doom," "The Evil Eye," "The Pit of Horror!" "Horror in the Moonlight!" "Don't Bury Me Deep," "One Head Too Many!" "Burton's Blood!" Werewolf!" "The Madman," and "The Graymoor Ghost," from titles like Menace, Journey into Unknown Worlds, Strange Tales, Uncanny Tales, Spellbound, Mystic, Suspense, as well as "Zombie!" from Menace #5, featuring a character rebooted as Simon Garth in the black-and-white Marvel Magazine explosion of the 1970s. An introduction by Atlas expert Dr. Michael J. Vassallo puts it all in context. 256 pages. Size: 10" x 14" (260mm x 350mm). (2). Bill Everett (illustrator).…
