Covers by FRANK R. PAUL & DEAN WHITE
In
September 1939, a new title hit newsstands and changed the comic-book
world forever: MARVEL COMICS #1 had arrived! And this 64-page package
wasn't your typical assortment of super-powered, straight-laced
do-gooders. This was something completely new. The Human Torch, the
creation of Dr. Phineas Horton, was neither man nor hero. He was a fiery
force of nature who shocked and unsettled mankind. The
half-human/half-Atlantean Sub-Mariner ventured from his undersea kingdom
not with a mind set on peace, but bent toward vengeance! They're
flanked by an eclectic set born out of the energy and imagination of the
Golden Age -- including the heroic Angel, robot invention Electro,
hard-edged detective the Ferret, cowboy Masked Raider and jungle
adventurer Ka-Zar. Painstakingly restored with a host of bonus material,
this volume is a must for every comic reader's library. Collecting
MARVEL COMICS #1 and MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS #2-4.
