Written by Stan Lee. Art by Jack Kirby, Paul Reinman, Dick Ayers, and Steve Ditko. Cover by Jack Kirby. Introduction by Stan Lee.
Dr. Robert Bruce Banner may have the appearance of a mild-mannered scientist, but after being caught in a gamma bomb explosion, he became the unstoppable engine of destruction known as the Incredible Hulk!
Hot off the success of the FANTASTIC FOUR, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's atomic update on the Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde tale, mixed the joy of giant monsters with Cold War intrigue and added a heavy dose of psychological drama to create a formula that even decades later has readers clamoring for more. So for each and every purple pants loving Hulkophile, the MARVEL MASTERWORKS are proud to present the Hulk's original six-issue solo series in one amazingly restored volume.
You'll meet Bruce Banner, Rick Jones, General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross of the U.S. Army and the lovely Betty Ross for the first time. You'll see the Hulk's first appearance as the gray goliath before he turned that familiar shade of green. You'll watch the Hulk bust knuckles with the far-out Toad Men, the subterranean Tryannus, monstrous Mongu, and the Metal Master, and to make it that much better, the incomparable Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko illustrate it all.
Softcover, 164 pages, full color.

Volume 9 - 1st printing. "The Avengers: Book 2!" Collects The Avengers (1963-1996 1st Series) #11-20.
Written by Stan Lee, Larry Ivie, and Larry Lieber. Art by Jack Kirby, Don Heck, Chic Stone, Dick Ayers, Mike Esposito, and Wally Wood. Cover by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone. Introduction by Stan Lee.
Brought together to fight the biggest menaces in the Marvel Universe, Iron Man, Thor, Giant-Man and the Wasp represented the heavy-hitters of the super-hero set, but Marvel heroes don't just hang out, they live, breathe, argue-and even fall out.
In an innovative twist that would come to define the Avengers, Stan Lee chose to have those original Avengers depart, leaving Captain America alone to carry on. But it was who replaced them that really got reader's attention. Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch-all conflicted and villains in their own right-became Cap 's new recruits creating a dynamic, unpredictable and exciting quartet that to many would become the Avengers's heart and soul. So sit and back enjoy the evolution of Earth's Mightiest Heroes as they battle Kang the Conqueror, the Mole Man, the Red Ghost, Count Nefaria, Baron Zemo's Masters of Evil, the Mandarin and the Swordsman.
With guest appearances by Spider-Man the Incredible Hulk himself, it's a Marvel Masterwork from beginning to end!

Join the original X-Men - Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel and Iceman - in these early adventures from the days when Marvel's Merry Mutants were more the quirkiest quintet in comics than the worldwide wunderkinds they are today. Across ten issues, you'll see the X-Men confronted by a host of villains weird and varied - from Count Nefaria and his horde of henchmen to the Locust and the Aztec-inspired Kukulcán. You'll also witness the first appearance of X-Men mainstay Banshee and read the rare stories when a sixth mutant member, the Mimic, joined Professor X's squad. Also featured are the beginnings of the long-ranging Factor Three saga, and the classic battle between Mimic and the Super-Adaptoid - and all are painstakingly restored to offer the best presentation of these Marvel classics!
