Cover by Jim Mooney. Back Cover by Bill Everett. Introduction by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. The Goddess of Love...and SF horror: The eagerly anticipated single volume collecting the 10 rare issues of the overstuffed Venus comics! In the late 1940s, the first half of the Venus series from Marvel Comics predecessors Timely and Atlas Comics was published as a lighthearted romance comic about the goddess Venus taking a job on Earth at a beauty magazine. Never a company to miss a trend, Atlas began introducing more science fiction elements in the 1950s, and eventually turned Venus' dating adventures into a straight-out horror anthology. Collected here, 70 years later and for the first time ever, is that swift-changing second half of the 19-issue run. Future Marvel stars Bill Everett (seven issues) and Werner Roth (three issues) take Venus to heights of four-color weirdness and pre-Code horror ghastliness. Everett is given free rein and seizes the opportunity: writing, drawing, and lettering twenty ghoul is hand goofy masterpieces, including classics like "Hangman's House," "The Day Venus Vanished," "The House of Terror," "The Sealed Spectors," Tidal Wave of Terror," and the phantasmagorical "Cartoonist's Calamity!" These stories showcase the brilliant draftsmanship and storytelling of Everett, one of the giants of the 1940s and '50scomic book industry. His slick, fluid line rendered at Timely/Atlas, from his seminal god-child Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, to the atomic age Marvel Boy, is some of the finest pre-Code horror this side of E.C.'s Graham Ingels. Series editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo assisted in the compilation of Venus for Marvel 13 years ago, and Fantagraphics is delighted to publish the horror half as the second title in The Fantagraphics Atlas Comics Library.

Volume 5 - 1st printing. "Police Action!" Collects Police Action (1954 Atlas) #1-7 and Police Badge #479 (1955) #5. Featuring tories by Dick Ayers, Mannie Banks, Vic Carrabotta, Tony Dipreta, Bob Forgione, John Forte, Ed Goldfarb, Ed Moline, Seymour Moskowitz, George Olesen, Art Peddy, Bob Powell, Paul Reinman, Robert Q. Sale, and Carl Wessler. Introduction by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. Before focusing on tales of justice via superheroes under the Marvel banner, the publisher covered groundlevel crime across a range of comics titles and truecrime magazines. Under the Timely imprint from 1947, and Atlas from 1951, up to eleven graphic series including Justice Comics, Official True Crime Cases, AllTrue Crime, Crime Cases, Crime Can't Win, Crime Must Lose, and Crime Exposed all muscled each other and competitors for space on the newsstands.For the first crimethemed volume in Fantagraphics' ongoing project to restore and resurrect preMarvel pulp classics, the Atlas Library has selected a book that debuted as the genre peaked, just before a Senate hearing and the institution of the Comics Code banned the use of the word "Crime" from even appearing in a comic's title. Escaping that fate, Police Action had a sevenissue run of violent and noirish morality plays, pitting the officers of the law against the forces of urban malevolence, and was produced by the cream of the Atlas freelance roster, including Joe Maneely, Robert Q. Sale, Gene Colan, Art Peddy, Mort Lawrence, Werner Roth and Bob Powell.Rounding the volume off, also presented is a postCode oneshot, Police Badge #479, a snapshot of the industry's attempts to adapt to new strictures on the genre: here we view "our boys in blue" in the fight against rank corruption, highlighting the work of Don Heck and Joe Maneely.

Introduction by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. This new volume in Fantagraphics' and Marvels collaborative Atlas Library presents Girl Comics #1-12, a long unseen subversion of romance comics beautifully designed for a new generation of readers! In 1950, Timely/Atlas/Marvel took a typical romance title called Girl Comics and turned it into a sister companion to its successful men's-adventure comics: an empowering girls-adventure comic! Mystery, adventure and suspense was promised and delivered! At the hands of a stellar artistic line-up, including John Buscema, Mike Sekowsky, Bill Everett, Joe Maneely, Russ Heath, and Bernard Krigstein, Girl Comics evolved from heart-stricken love stories to hair-raising girl-power thrill rides like The Death Plunge!, The House of Shadows!, I was a Murderers Daughter!, They Called me a Spy!, The Dead Hands at the Controls, and The Dark Hallway. This volume also features the story behind the stories, with editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo's essays on Marvel publisher Martin Goodman's enthusiastic relationship with romance comics and magazines at a time when the artform was cementing itself into American youth culture!

Volume 8 - 1st printing. "Snafu!" Collects Snafu Vol. 1 (1955) #1-3. Written by Stan Lee. Art by Joe Maneely, Russ Heath, John Severin, Howie Post, and Bill Everett. Cover by Joe Maneely. When Harvey Kurtzman and Bill Gaines launched ECs Mad comic book as a warmly received satirical magazine, a flood of imitators soon filled newsstands, but the first and best to follow in Mads footsteps (coinciding with the second issue of Mad magazine) was Snafu, edited and written by Kurtzmans former boss: Stan The Man Lee! Snafu was packed with Marvel/Atlas top humor creators and, following the Mad playbook, filled pages with ad and news spoofs, alongside film, television, and book parodies like The Blackboard Forest by Russ Heath, Pete Kelseys Booze and Bleed, You Bum! by Joe Maneely, Drugnet by Howie Post, Emily Toasts Etiquette Page by John Severin, and Snafus Lovely Ladies by Bill Everett, with production supervised by Marie Severin. Seen here is some of the most eye-popping work of Maneelys short life, including great Hollywood caricatures done in a wash style. In this new volume in our Atlas Library collaboration with Marvel, Fantagraphics is tickled pink to present for the first time, the complete Snafu collection along with a history of Martin Goodmans humor publications in all genres by editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 256 pages, full color. Cover price $39.99.
