MARVEL MASTERWORKS:
ATLAS ERA VENUS VOL. 1 HC
Written by VARIOUS
Penciled by KEN BALD, DON RICO, WERNER ROTH, MIKE SEKOWSKY
& VARIOUS
Cover by KEN BALD
The MARVEL MASTERWORKS are proud to present one of the most amazing titles and characters in the Marvel pantheon: Venus! Debuting in 1948, Venus would come to reflect the morphing genres and content of the comic-book industry like almost no other title, and across its run would present some of the most compelling stories of the era. From the beginning, the title featured the goddess of love, Venus, who leaves her immortal throne to seek love as a normal — though stunningly beautiful — mortal on Earth. Publisher Whitney Hammond turns her arrival on Earth into a media event and appoints her editor of his flagging magazine Beauty. Stories on the trials and tribulations of magazine publishing and men smitten by her beauty, however, soon gave way to mythological tales with a fantasy/adventure bent. Increasingly dark in tone, Venus’ adventures began to feature scheming Olympian villains set to control, foil or destroy the Earthbound goddess’ plans. Trips into the underworld ruled by the Atlas Era’s Loki became the norm, and lush artwork by many of the period’s top talents graced extended-length stories. Collected here for the first time, this rare fan-favorite title is a must-have for every Atlas aficionado! Collecting VENUS #1-9, LANA #4 and MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS #91.

Cover by GENE COLAN
With Matt Murdock thought dead to the world, Daredevil’s adventures take on a whole new level of action, drama and excitement in the manner only Marvel can present — and it takes off with a test of courage that pits DD against Mr. Fear. Then comes the flaming skeleton horseman, Death’s-Head — a villain with deep, unknown links to those closest to Daredevil. It’s a classic battle that pushes Matt Murdock to reveal his identity to the lovely Karen Page at last — but will it bring them closer together, or force them apart? Also featured are the debut of Stunt-Master; the return of war vet Willie Lincoln; an encounter with the underworld mastermind Crime-Wave; a battle with the triple-threat team-up of Mr. Hyde, Cobra and Jester; the introduction and origin of Nighthawk; and a fight to the finish with the one and only Gladiator! Brought to you by Roy Thomas and the unmatched penciling talent of Gene Colan, they’re MASTERWORKS one and all — so reserve your copy today! Collecting DAREDEVIL #54-63.
