Produced by veterans of WWII, the eight issues here feature future mainstream comics stalwarts such as Gene Colan, Russ Heath, Joe Maneely, and more.

Come protettore dell’universo e difensore della Terra, Capitan Marvel ha avuto la meglio su nemici di ogni tipo. Ora, però, se ne trova di fronte uno che nemmeno lui è in grado di sconfiggere: una malattia incurabile. E, affiancato dai suoi amici e dai suoi colleghi, dovrà affrontare la sfida più difficile: accettare la propria mortalità. Può la caduta di un eroe essere il più grande trionfo? Sì, se a raccontarla è un genio del fumetto come Jim Starlin (The Infinity Gauntlet). Completano il volume la prima mitica avventura del guerriero Kree, il combattimento contro Nitro che ha segnato per lui l’inizio della fine, e la nascita della sua storia d’amore con Elysius.

Es la noche antes de Navidad. Es cuando el hijo de Drácula, el vástago heredero del manto de poder que el rey vampiro ha portado durante tanto tiempo, nacerá. ¿Qué harán sus enemigos al respecto? Además, Harold H. Harold comienza por fin su novela: La conspiración del vampiro... y los hombres conocerán la ira de Drácula.

Continúa la recopilación de una de las mayores obras maestras que dio Marvel en los años setenta. Una brutal batalla en la Mansión Harker entre Quincy y el Príncipe de las Tinieblas podría significar la muerte de Drácula... pero también el fin para Rachel Van Helsing.

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.

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. Fan forums have long cried out for a definitive collection of his Daredevil works, so this compendium follows his finest works from the early 70s in collaboration with writers Roy Thomas and Gerald F. Conway. UK exclusive.

The Spider has rivaled other iconic pulp heroes like The Shadow or Doc Savage. 118 pulp novels, two movie serials and radio, and several novels to his credit. Stan Lee has considered one of his inspirations when creating Spiderman. Two masters of mystery, McGregor and Colan, combining the most unique references to pop culture with the spirit of the original work to offer a current version of the character in a superb graphic novel for adults: The Spider: The Requiem scavengers...addictive, hard, uncompromising.

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. Featuring rare childhood drawings, hotos, recently-discovered wartime illustrations, and original art and sketches from throughout his nearly 60-year career, this book offers new insight on the inspirations, challenges and successes that shaped Gene ''the Dean'' Colan. Among the highlights are: A comprehensive overview of Gene''s glory days at Marvel Comics! Marv Wolfman, Don McGregor and other favorite writers share plot/script samples and anecdotes 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! Plus: a new portfolio of never-before-seen collaborations between Gene and such masters as John Byrne, Michael Kaluta and George Perez, and all-new artwork created specifically for this book by Gene Colan, who is still inspired by the "Secrets in the Shadows." The Deluxe Hardcover Edition is limited to 1,000 copies, and features 16 extra black-and-white pages and 8 extra color pages, plus custom endleaves and dustjacket. Written by award-winning journalist Tom Field, who was given unprecedented access to the Colan family''s insights and archives, this book paints an intimate portrait of one of comics'' most inimitable talents.
