The Fantastic Four return in another collection of classic tales by the team that built the House of Ideas, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby!

Creating the World's Greatest Comic Magazine wasn't enough for these two talents, now they had to prove it-and here how! Across ten trend-setting issues, the Thing and the Hulk face-off for the first time; the FF journey to the moon to grapple with the Red Ghost and his Super Apes and first encounter the cosmic presence of The Watcher; the villainous Puppet Master bends the might of Namor, the Sub-Mariner, to his will; the Mad Thinker unleashes his Awesome Android; Rama-Tut (a.k.a. Kang the Conqueror) sends the FF to ancient Egypt; Dr. Doom returns in a two-part epic guest-starring the Astonishing Ant-Man; the Molecule Man menaces the world; and, for the first time, the wild and wacky Impossible Man drops in from the planet Poppup.

Oh, and we couldn't forget, it's all topped off with a star-studded, action-packed Annual featuring the Sub-Mariner's all-out aquatic invasion of New York City-with bonus pinups-a-plenty and a back-up feature pitting the FF vs. Spider-Man!

Volume 6 - 1st printing. Collects Thor (1962-1996 1st Series) #141-152.

Written by STAN LEE. Art and cover by JACK KIRBY.

Long live Asgard, True Believers! What better way to herald the return of the God of Thunder, than to usher in another Mighty Thor Masterworks! After years of honing the tragedy and intrigue of the Son of Odin, Stan and Jack hit a stride that would produce the most mythic tales in all of Marveldom. Beginning with a pair of irredeemable uglies, Replicus and the Super-Skrull, the adventure then takes itself up a Norse notch when the evil Loki conspires to have Thor stripped of his power and vanquished to Earth! Stranded there, he must struggle to survive the machinations of his scheming half-brother, while attemping to regain the graces of All-Father Odin. Last, but not least: Enter one of the most beloved baddies in all of the Asgardian entourage - The Wrecker! The decidedly mortal Thor must battle to his very last breath against this crowbar-wielding wingnut, who himself is powered with Asgardian might! And we'll warn you now, the last note is a tragic one as Thor faces his ladylove, Sif - in the body of the undefeatable Destroyer! It's drama as only the Masters of the Marvel Age can make it!

Written by Stan Lee. Art and cover by Jack Kirby.

Continuing their greatest-hits streak on the "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine," Stan Lee and Jack Kirby weren't content just to introduce the Inhumans, Galactus and the Silver Surfer.

No, a three-peat was thinking far, far smaller than the most amazing team in comics' history imagined. Their follow up was a heart-wrenching tale of tragedy and heroism titled "This Man! This Monster!" If this story doesn't make you come to love Benjamin J. Grimm, then yer heart must be made of orange rock, fella! Because the greatest Fantastic Four story wasn't enough, Stan and Jack had yet another unmatched milestone waiting in the wings: the debut of the world's first African super hero, the Black Panther, and his kingdom of Wakanda! And that's just the start! In the pages of this MARVEL MASTERWORKS, you'll also encounter the vile Klaw; see the Silver Surfer go toe-to-toe with the Thing; watch the Human Torch face his namesake, the original 1940s Torch; and wonder in shock and awe at how the Fantastic Four can hope to overcome Dr. Doom when he's wrested the Power Cosmic from the Surfer himself!

We can't guarantee you won't wear out the pages of this volume reading stories this great again and again! You may want to order two just in case!

Written by ROY THOMAS. Art and cover by GENE COLAN.

With Matt Murdock thought dead to the world, Daredevil's adventures take on a whole new level of action, drama and excitement in the manner only Marvel can present - and it takes off with a test of courage that pits DD against Mr. Fear. Then comes the flaming skeleton horseman, Death's-Head - a villain with deep, unknown links to those closest to Daredevil. It's a classic battle that pushes Matt Murdock to reveal his identity to the lovely Karen Page at last - but will it bring them closer together, or force them apart?

Also featured are the debut of Stunt-Master; the return of war vet Willie Lincoln; an encounter with the underworld mastermind Crime-Wave; a battle with the triple-threat team-up of Mr. Hyde, Cobra and Jester; the introduction and origin of Nighthawk; and a fight to the finish with the one and only Gladiator!

Volume 6 - 1st printing. Collecting Uncanny X-Men (1963-2011 1st Series) #54-66.

Written by ROY THOMAS, ARNOLD DRAKE, DENNIS O'NEIL & LINDA FITE. Art by NEAL ADAMS, DON HECK, WERNER ROTH & SAL BUSCEMA. Cover by NEAL ADAMS.

In 1969: The X-Men, Marvel's poorest selling title, flagging in sales and on the verge of cancellation, was in dire need of a shot in the arm.

A new direction. A new vision.

Enter Roy Thomas and Neal Adams, and True Believer, you had better grab onto your hat and get ready for one of the most amazing evolutions in Marvel history!

These two titanic talents threw caution to the wind with sensational stories that brought the X-Men in synch with the thriving youth culture of the late '60s. Adams' lavish and dynamic visuals merged with Thomas' challenging and contemporary stories to create a comic book series that throbbed with the pulse of the times like none other. Prepare yourself for the introduction of mutant mainstay Havok, the vampiric villain Sauron, the Mutates, and X-Man-to-be Sunfire! Not to mention, the Living Pharaoh, a classic team-up with Ka-Zar in the Savage Land, as well as the return of Magneto and Professor X!

Unquestionably a high-water mark of the '60s X-Men, this massive volume, loaded with extras, caps off-but will not end-the original team X-Men Masterworks!

Hardcover, full color.
