New Releases by Gene Colan

Continuing Fantagraphics'' project to reprint Marvel Comics'' 1950s genre titles, this volume compiles the first of what became the industry''s largest line of war books. Produced by veterans of WWII, the eight issues here feature future mainstream comics stalwarts such as Gene Colan, Russ Heath, Joe Maneely, and more.

Fantagraphics is embarking on a project to reprint Marvel Comics'' 1950s genre titles -- war, crime, supernatural, funny animal, Western -- under its new Atlas series with the first eight issues of the pre-Code horror series Adventures Into Terror.

Atlas holds a special place among aficionados of the genre, producing more horror titles and issues by far, than anyone in the industry. While the quality of EC''s six horror/sci-fi titles was unsurpassed with their elite cadre of talent, Atlas was the equivalent of the B-movies studio, churning out anywhere from 8 to 12 different horror titles a month, giving a wider array of artists, including some of the best craftsmen of the era, a chance to show off their talents: in addition to those already mentioned, future volumes will include Bill Everett, John Romita, Bernie Krigstein, Jerry Robinson, Harry Anderson, and Matt Fox. Stories from Marvel''s Atlas line have barely been reprinted.

Now behold the Prince of Darkness'' first encounters with his most implacable enemies of the era, including legendary Blade the Vampire Hunter! With ghosts, mutants, mad scientists and more! Plus a tour of the Lord of the Vampires'' earlier U.S. activities, with such stops as the Pool of Blood and the Devil''s Heart! Featuring Werewolf by Night and Lilith, Daughter of Dracula!

Captain America is flung into a world of espionage and tyranny in this classic collection of Marvel''s mightiest tales.

This is a collection of great romance stories from the 50s, 60s and 70s.

"It''s a twelve-pack of Captain America classics as only the Marvel Masterworks can bring them to you! Draped in the red, white and blue, there''s no character in all of comics who represents America like Cap, and within these pages two of Marvel''s greatest creators set him on a path through the tumultuous ''70s that bears a character''s, and a nation''s, soul. In story after story Stan Lee and Gene Colan push the envelope for adventure as Cap goes behind enemy lines in Vietnam; teams with the Falcon to oppose the radical Diamondheads; and then sets out on a coast-to-coast road trip full of motorcycle gangs, rock festivals and the Red Skull! The excitement reaches fever pitch when the long, lost Bucky Barnes returns! Free from the guilt of his partner''s death, Cap''s slate is wiped clean, however, anything but a normal life is ahead-because Baron Strucker, Dr. Doom and M.O.D.O.K. are tied up in Bucky''s return. Before the story''s done you''ll witness Cap vs. Bucky, the origin of M.O.D.O.K. and the beginning of the Captain America/Falcon team! Featuring guest appearances by Nick Fury, the Incredible Hulk and Peter Parker, and villains from Batroc to the Mole Man and the Monster Ape, they''re classics one and all"--Publisher''s description.

Slithering upon the heels of Dark Horse''s archive collections of the seminal horror comics magazine Creepy comes its terror-filled cousin publication Eerie! Collected for fans for the first time ever, and packaged in the same amazing oversized format as the Creepy Archives, Dark Horse Comics has taken great, gruesome care in presenting this groundbreaking material to readers who have been waiting decades to get their claws on it.

Inducted into the comic book hall of fame in 2005, Gene Colan''s legendary work spans from Tomb of Dracula to Howard the Duck, but Daredevil is considered his signature series.

Conway. UK exclusive.

From Daredevil to Dracula, from Batman to Brother Voodoo, from Howard the Duck to Stewart the Rat, Secrets in the Shadows: The Art & Life of Gene Colan is the ultimate retrospective on one of comics'' all-time unique artists.

Marv Wolfman, Don McGregor and other favorite writers share plot/script samples and anecotes of their Colan collaborations! Tom Palmer, Steve Leialoha, and other noted artists show how they approached the daunting task of inking Colan''s famously nuanced penciled pages!
