TALES TO ASTONISH                TALES OF SUSPENSE
Marvel Masterworks Atlas Era Heroes Volume 1
Written by STAN LEE Penciled by BILL EVERETT, JOHN ROMITA, CARL BURGOS, RUSS HEATH &
WAYNE BORING Cover by CARL BURGOS
As the ’50s dawned and the Atlas Era was born, the day of the Nazi-stomping super hero had passed,
and in its place came a new style of hero reflective of the changing times. Heroes born of bizarre atomic
science that battled otherworldly alien menaces, and patriotic poster boys that battled back the
Communist hordes.
Marvel Boy: Rejecting the tyranny of Earth’s governments, scientist Dr. Matthew Grayson built an
experimental spacecraft and traveled to the planet Uranus with his infant son, Robert. In this incredible
environment, young Robert developed marvelous powers of telepathy and superhuman strength,
combined with a pair of amazing photonic wristbands. These astonishing powers made him Marvel
Boy, cosmic protector of the solar system!
The Hero Revival: The year was 1953, and with fear of Communism clutching the nation’s attention,
Atlas Comics publisher Martin Goodman tapped Stan Lee – along with artists John Romita, Bill Everett,
Carl Burgos and Russ Heath – to stage a revival of the most-famous super heroes of the era. Bursting
onto the pages of YOUNG MEN, the Human Torch, Captain America and the Sub-Mariner made their
explosive return to the comics scene!
The inaugural volume of a line collecting the exceptionally rare 1950s appearances of Captain America,
the Human Torch, the Sub-Mariner, Marvel Boy, the Black Knight and more, ATLAS ERA HEROES VOL. 1
is just the first peek into a historical bridge between the Golden Age and the Marvel Age of Heroes no
fan should be without! Collecting MARVEL BOY #1-2, ASTONISHING #3-6 and YOUNG MEN #24-28.

Marvel Masterworks Atlas Era Heroes Volume 2
Penciled by JOHN ROMITA, DICK AYERS, BILL EVERETT, MORT LAWRENCE & BOB POWELL Cover by
JOHN ROMITA
The Atlas Era Hero Revival continues with the adventures of the comics’ most famous trio of
Communist conquering heroes: Captain America, the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner! Beginning
with the Big Three’s anthology adventures in Men’s Adventures, we then dive headlong into Captain
America’s complete 1954 solo series. Illustrated by Bullpen legend John Romita in some of his very
first super hero stories, you’ll see Cap and Bucky fight Fifth Columnists, Commie spies and even the
Soviet Electro! Next up, it’s the Human Torch and Toro! Returned from his slumber by an atomic bomb,
the Torch has rejoined his young sidekick in a battle to clean up threats as amazing and entertaining as
vampires, killer robots and his 1950s nemesis, the Vulture. Their crime-fighting adventures even take
on a global purchase, stretching all the way to the 38th Parallel and Communist Korea! And finally, for a
quick taste of what’s to come in Atlas Era Heroes’ next volume, comes an assortment of Bill Everett’s
lavishly drawn tales of the lord of the Atlantis, Namor the Sub-Mariner. Considered by many to be the
definitive take on the character, Everett’s ’50s Sub-Mariner is nothing less than treasure from the deep!
We’d be remiss to leave you without a bevy of historical bonuses, including a rare Human Torch tale
that went unprinted for more than a decade, original artwork, Atlas Era house ads and an introduction by
Hero Revival scholar extraordinaire Roy Thomas. Collecting MEN’S ADVENTURES #27-28, CAPTAIN
AMERICA #76-78, HUMAN TORCH #36-38 and MARVEL SUPER-HEROES #16. 240 PGS. Rated All

Marvel Masterworks Atlas Era Heroes Volume 3
Written by VARIOUS with STAN LEE Penciled by BILL EVERETT with DICK AYERS, MORT LAWRENCE,
HOWARD POST & VARIOUS Cover by SYD SHORES
The Atlas Era Heroes hits the high-water mark of the 1954 revival with the sovereign of the seven seas,
the Sub-Mariner! Collected for the first time ever, the Atlas SUB-MARINER series showcases Bill
Everett's most lavish, most manic and most exciting interpretation of his undersea creation. Supported
by Namora, Princess Fen and intrepid love interest Betty Dean, Namor faces off against the nefarious
Prince Byrrah, his own doppelganger, giant crocodiles and Communists a-plenty in issue after issue of
pre-Code action and marine adventure. From all-out invasions of the surface world to the perils of exile
from Atlantis, these pages define the Sub-Mariner in a way never before, and perhaps never since,
captured in any comic series! Along with Dick Ayer's Human Torch and backup stories featuring the
terrors of the deep, you'll also be treated to Everett's tales of the young Namor and how he came to be
the hot-headed protector the kingdom beneath the Antarctic ice. Collecting SUB-MARINER #33-42. 272

PAUL REINMAN Cover by JACK KIRBY Ready your fallout shelter, check your 4th-dimensional passport,
and get ready for a trip into the wild and wooly days of the Atlas Era! The Marvel Masterworks have
prepared another heaping helping of towering terrors that eat atom bombs for breakfast and
psychological mind-benders of scintillating suspense. Led by Jack “The King” Kirby, there’s a whole
passel of monsters from beyond the edge of imagination eager to smash their way into your town. From
swamp beasts, terrorizing trees, atomic ants and Gorgilla, the gorilla who’d give King Kong a run for his
money. If collateral damage is what your desire, then Groot, Krang, The Blip, Rommbu, Thorr and X, The
Thing That Lived, are your best friends and your insurance agent’s worst nightmare. While Kirby tested the
tensile strength of newsprint, Steve Ditko challenged readers to look through the pages of comic books
and into new dimensions. His parables of suspense and wrenching psychological tension will leave you
curled up and screaming for more — whether you like it or not! Collecting TALES TO ASTONISH #11-20.
