One of the world's greatest comics characters, the ever-fearless Asterix, continues to battle supposedly unbeatable odds to protect his tiny village from the Roman Empire. Fortunately, all of the villagers have super-strength thanks to a secret potion.

In "Asterix and the Big Fight," one of the three classic Asterix graphic novels collected here, the Romans are beginning to wise up. Instead of trying to conquer Asterix's village, the Roman's challenge Vitalstatistx, chief of Asterix's tribe, to a one on one battle with the Gallo-Roman Chief, Cassius Ceramix of Linoleum. As per Ancient Gaulish customs, the loser would forfeit his entire tribe to the winner.

"Asterix in Britain," the Romans have conquered all of Britain except for a single village in Kent. Sound familiar? Anticlimax, a member of that British village, travels to Gaul to seek help from his first cousin once removed, Asterix. Together, with Obelix, they decide to bring back a barrel full of the secret potion that imbues anyone with super-strength, but word leaks out, and the Romans will do anything they can to thwart this rescue mission.

Finally, in "Asterix and the Normans," Asterix encounters a group of Normans who want to learn all about fear, and that's just the tip of the iceberg as far as how many strange and crazy things happen in this particular adventure. We won't even mention which pop star is parodied in this story!

Written by Jim Ottaviani. Art by Maris Wicks.

America may have put the first man on the Moon, but it was the Soviet space program that made Valentina Tereshkova the first woman in space.

Meanwhile, in the United States, NASA's first female astronauts were racing toward milestones of their own. These trailblazing women were admitted into Group 9, NASA's first mixed-gender class. They had the challenging task of convincing the powers that be that a woman's place is in space. But once they'd been admitted into the training program, they discovered that NASA had plenty to learn about how to make space travel possible for all humans.

In Astronauts: Women on the Final Frontier, Jim Ottaviani and illustrator Maris Wicks capture the great humor and incredible drive of Mary Cleve, Valentina Tereshkova, and the first women in space.

This is a non-fiction graphic novel for middle grade readers.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Joe Maneely!" Introduction by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. The first book in Fantagraphics' new Atlas ArtistEdition series collects the best work of Marvel's topartist of the 1950s in a lush, lavish, full-color, oversizecollector's volume, scanned directly from the originalprintings and meticulously restored and presented ina wealth of detail never seen before.Joe Maneely was known for his draftsmanship, his versatility, andhis speed. He could draw horror, science fiction, war, crime, Madstylehumor, Westerns, and funny animals with equal dexterity. Histactile, chiaroscuro graphic approach to storytelling has made hima legend among the comics cognoscenti, but because he never drewsuperheroes and his life ended tragically at age 32, he has neverbeen given the attention his short but incandescent career deserves. Until now.As Geoffrey C. Ward wrote in American Heritage, "Maneely's knowledge of 19thcentury artifacts was encyclopedic, his rumpled, unshaven cowboys all wore theright hats, swung the right lariats, sat in the right saddles, fired the right modelColts - with every screwhead and trigger guard and notched handle preciselyrendered."And that's only his Westerns. That tightly focused attention to detail pervadeshis work in every genre.The Atlas Artist Edition Vol. 1: Joe Maneely, presents a cornucopia of Maneely'swork for Marvel (then called Atlas) including Westerns (Kid Colt, Black Rider, RingoKid, Wyatt Earp, Two-Gun Kid), pre-Code horror ("Haunted!", "The Raving Maniac",and the classic "Your Name Is Frankenstein"), space opera (Speed Carter), war (CombatKelly), Mad-style parodies from the pages of Crazy and Riot, cold-war intrigueand paranoia (Yellow Claw), and Maneely's pride and joy - his Arthurian champion,The Black Knight. Series editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo provides expert contextualand historical commentary in a special essay for this volume.Dr. Michael J. Vassallo is the pre-eminent expert on the Timely/Atlas period of Marvel'shistory. He co-wrote The Secret History of Marvel Comics (Fantagraphics Books,2013) and edited Atlas at War (2020) and Timely Confidential: When the Golden Age ofComic Books Was Young (2017).

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 4 - 1st printing. "War Comics!" Collects War Comics (1950-1957 Atlas) #1-8. Cover by Carl Burgos and Sal Bradsky. Back cover by Al Hartley. Introduction by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. 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. Forged in the crucible of the Korean War, and produced by veterans of the Second World War, this volume's eight issues present the brutality and grimness of armed combat by some of Atlas' most notable war artists and future comics stars including Gene Colan, Russ Heath, Joe Maneely, Dave Berg, Jay Scott Pike, Mike Sekowsky, Vern Henkel, Allen Bellman, Pete Morisi and Norman Steinberg. Propaganda abounds from the very first story, published in War Comics #1 in September 1950: "Peril in Korea," a primer explaining why the U.S. joined the conflict. Other highlights include Colan's "The Chips are Down" and "Victory," Heath's "Alone" and "No Survivors," Maneely's "Stormy Weather," Henkel's "Total Destruction," and Berg's "The Infantry's War." Originally a trial spun off from the publisher's "Men's Adventure" publications, in the nine years to follow Atlas went on to produce 533 comic book issues with war content, across 34 different titles. War Comics is where it all began, unseen in decades, scanned from the original books, restored, and packaged as one large, beautiful hardcover volume.

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! Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 336 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.
