Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Adventures into Terror: November 1950-February 1952!" Collects Adventures into Terror (1951-1954) #43-44 and #3-8. Written by Hank Chapman, Don Rico, and Michael Dean. Art by Russ Heath, Ed Winiarski, Mike Sekowsky, Christopher Rule, George Klein, Allen Bellman, Chic Stone, Gene Colan, Marty Nodell, Hank Chapman, Jay Scott Pike, Don Rico, Sol Brodsky, Paul Reinman, Bill Molno, Vince Alascia, Harry Lazarus, Joe Maneely, Basil Wolverton, Carl Burgos, Hy Rosen, Bill Walton, Manny Stallman, Bill LaCava, and Joe Sinnott. Cover by Russ Heath. Back Cover by Harry Lazarus and Christopher Rule. Introduction by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. 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 E.C.'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 works by Bill Everett, John Romita, Bernie Krigstein, Jerry Robinson, Harry Anderson, and Matt Fox. Stories from Marvel's Atlas line have barely been reprinted. The Fantagraphics Atlas Comics Library is the first attempt to publish a carefully curated line of Atlas titles. Our first volume, Adventures Into Terror, includes a treasure trove of stories drawn by many of the most stylistically accomplished artists of the Golden Age including George Tuska, Carl Burgos, Mike Sekowsky, Joe Maneely, Basil Wolverton, and Joe Sinnott. Highlights include Russ Heath's two part story "The Brain" from issue #4 and "Return of the Brain" from issue #6; Basil Wolverton's classic "Where Monsters Dwell" from issue #7; Gene Colan's moody "House of Horror" in issue #3; and Don Rico's wild layouts are on display from #4's"The Torture Room." The stories are written firmly in the tradition of the pulpy, perverse, borderline deranged style that brought Fredric Wertham, the United States Senate Sub-Committee, and public opinion down like a sledgehammer on comics in the early '50s. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 180 pages, full color. Cover price $34.99.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Venus: Strange Stories of the Supernatural!" Collects Venus (1948-1952 Marvel) #1-19. Art by Werner Roth, Christopher Rule, Mike Sekowsky, Joe Maneely, Bob Powell, Vince Alascia, Lin Streeter, Syd Shores, Russ Heath, Hy Rosen, Mike Esposito, Don Rico, Gene Colan, Bill Everett, Dave Berg, John Tartaglione, Sol Brodsky, Allen Bellman, Manny Stallman, John Giunta, and Pete Morisi. 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. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 280 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "In the Days of the Rocket: Starring Jet Dixon and Speed Carter!" Written by Joe Maneely, Hank Chapman, Mike Sekowsky, and Mike Dean. Art by George Tuska, Christopher Rule, Joe Maneely, Werner Roth, Carl Burgos, Sol Brodsky, George Klein, Allen Bellman, John Romita Sr., Vern Henkel, Bill Benulis, Jack Abel, Al Eadeh, Mike Sekowsky, Vic Carrabotta, Bill Savage, and Bob Forgione. Cover by Bill Everett and Carl Burgos. Back Cover by Werner Roth. Introduction by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. Expanding Fantagraphics' project to reprint Marvel Comics' 1950s genre titles, this volume blasts off to space opera adventure. In the vein of earlier comics-to-multimedia stars Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon, Atlas Comics launched their own pulp hero in 1951, looking ahead to the futuristic year 2000. Across five issues of Space Squadron (and one of Space Worlds), headline talents including George Tuska, Werner Roth and Allen Bellman (with back-up features by Joe Maneely, Christopher Rule, George Klein and Vern Henkel) showed Captain Jet Dixon and his Space Squadron blasting into action, facing cosmic threats like "The Armada of Death," "The Space Demons," "Terror from the Deep," "The Temptress of Jupiter," and "The Midnight Horror." Come 1953, Hank Chapman and Joe Maneely gazed further into the future, envisioning the distant year 2075 and the adventures of Speed Carter, Spaceman. Scripted throughout by Chapman, Maneely launched and drew the first three issues before handing off to one issue each by Mike Sekowsky, George Tuska and Bob Forgione, with back-up features by John Romita, Maneely, and Bill Savage. As other aspects of the Atlas line leaned into the peak of pre-Code horror, the Captain of the Space Sentinels and young cadet Johnny Day battled monstrous aliens with stories including "The Space Trap," "A Slaughter in Space," "Die, Spaceman, Die," and "The Thing in Outer Space." Unseen in 70 years, scanned in high resolution, restored to perfection, and packaged as one extra-sized, beautiful hardcover volume, In the Days of the Rockets will open a wormhole to the early cold-war four-color era of futuristic science fantasy. HANK CHAPMAN (1915-1973) wrote steadily for a variety of comics publishers between 1940 and 1967, usually uncredited, but he has been identified as the author of several hundred stories. He is most known for his war stories while on staff at Atlas in the 1950s and at DC in the '50s and '60s. JOE MANEELY (1926-1958) landed at Timely in 1949 following the Street & Smith line's collapse and freelanced for Timely/Atlas for the next eight years, becoming one of the most prolific and important artists of the Atlas period. MIKE SEKOWSKY (1923-1989) was a prolific workman of the Silver Age of comics, notably co-creating the Justice League of America for DC in 1960 and having a run as writer/artist on Wonder Woman. But he began at Timely, drawing everything from Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal to The Human Torch and The Sub-Mariner. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 336 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.

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. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 180 pages, full color. Cover price $34.99.

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. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 254 pages, full color. Cover price $44.99.

Volume 6 - 1st printing. "Shiver as You Read!" Collects Amazing Detective Cases (1950) #11-14 and Men's Adventures (1951-1954 Marvel/Atlas) #21-26. Written by Clayton Martin, Carl Wessler, Bill Everett, Hank Chapman, Stan Lee, and Burt Frohman. Art by Fred Hida, Joe Sinnott, George Klein, Harry Lazarus, Bill Walton, Martin Rosenthall (as Martin Rose), George Roussos, Bernie Krigstein, Jim Mooney, Mike Sekowsky, Hy Rosen, Werner Roth, Bill Everett, Ed Smalle, Bill Benulis, Jack Abel, Bob Forgione, Carmine Infantino, Gil Kane, Gil Evans, John Romita, Sr., Tony DiPreta, Ed Robbins, Howie Post, Mort Lawrence, Reed Crandall, Myron Fass, Larry Woromay, Matt Fox, George Tuska, Russ Heath, Joe Maneely, Mac Pakula, Paul Reinman, Dick Ayers, Ernie Bache, Gene Colan, and Robert Q. Sale. Cover by Bill Everett. Back Cover by Jim Mooney. Introduction by Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. The 1950s boom in horror comics saw Atlas Comics' entrée into the genre. Beginning in March 1952, Amazing Detective Cases began detailing cases where justice was served in supernatural fashion and beginning in May 1953, the adventures in Mens Adventures were taken over by ghosts, murderous revenge, and psychological terror. The cream of Atlas artistic line-up — including recent EC stars and future Marvel staples – rose to the grisly challenge of the horror genre. Each issue is crammed with four condensed tales of creeping dread, ironic comeuppance, or startling twists, all from a different artist or team. Among the short, sharp shocks included in this volume are the mini masterpieces "The Eerie Escape" by B. Krigstein, "The Torture Master!" by Russ Heath, The Drowning Witch" by Reed Crandall and "The 3rd Corpse" by Bill Everett. Stories by Gene Colan, John Romita, Joe Sinnott, Dick Ayers, Jim Mooney, Paul Reinman and George Tuska, all of whom remained through the shift to Marvel Comics, additionally fill out these issues, along with Atlas regulars Fred Kida, Mort Lawrence, Mike Sekowsky and Myron Fass. Notably included is the first appearance of "Gorilla Man" by Robert Q. Sale, a character brought back in Marvel's contemporary Agents of Atlas series, and part of their ongoing continuity. Shiver As You Read! is a perfect companion to Adventures Into Terror, Venus, and the other titles of the Atlas Comics Library. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 304 pages, full color. Cover price $44.99.

Volume 7 - 1st printing. "Girl Comics!" Collects Girl Comics (1949-1952) #1-12. Written by John Buscema, Bill Everett, Carl Wessler, Michael Dean, and Russ Heath.

Sieminski, Dan LoPrieno, Bill Savage, and Bernard Krigstein. Cover by Russ Heath, Pete Tumlinson, George Klein, Bill LaCava, Mike Esposito, and Al Hartley. Back Cover by Al Hartley. 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.

Volume 8 - 1st printing. "Snafu!" Collects Snafu Vol. 1 (1955) #1-3. Written by Stan Lee, John Severin, Bill Everett, and Joe Maneely. Art by John Severin, Joe Maneely, Howie Post, Russ Heath, Howie Post, Marie Severin, 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.

1st printing.

Written by Harvey Kurtzman, Jerry De Fuccio, Carl Wessler, Wallace Wood, and Archie Goodwin. Art and cover by Wally Wood.

When Wallace Wood teamed up with Harvey Kurtzman, the result was some of the best war stories ever put to paper. Wood and Kurtzman delivered deeply human tales from the Civil War to World War I to World War II to Korea. Wood and Kurtzman depicted the madness and horror of war, including the controversial title story which depicted the bombing of Nagasaki from the viewpoint of the victims on the ground.

Atom Bomb and Other Stories collects all the combat tales Wood and Kurtzman did together for EC's Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, plus other war stories Wood did for EC writer/editor Al Feldstein as well.
