Volume 14 - 1st printing. "Captain America: Book 1!" Collects Tales of Suspense (1959-1968) #59-81. Written by STAN LEE. Art by JACK KIRBY, GEORGE TUSKA, JOHN ROMITA and DICK AYERS. Cover by JACK KIRBY. As America began preparation for the inevitable entry in World War II, a secret military project gave birth to the greatest one-man fighting force ever known-Captain America! Transformed by the Super Soldier Serum from a 97-pound weakling into the Star-Spangled Avenger, Steve Rogers led the charge to liberate the world from the Axis powers' grasp. But before the war's end an accident left Cap frozen in suspended animation and his sidekick Bucky dead, while the world turned on for decades. When the Avengers finally resuscitated him, Steve Rogers was greeted by a world vastly changed. He was a man out of time tormented by the death of his partner, but no less committed to the cause of fighting evil in all its forms. In this inaugural Silver Age Captain America collection, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby bring you the rebirth of an American icon in issue after issue of classic Marvel magic. You'll read the classic origins of Cap, Bucky and the Red Skull; see the first appearances of such cornerstone creations as the cosmic cube and the beautiful Sharon Carter; and watch Cap face off against Baron Zemo's Army of Assassins, the Sleepers, Batroc the Leaper, and his Nazi nemesis the Red Skull!

Volume 17 - 1st printing. "Daredevil: Book 1!" Collects Daredevil (1964-1998 1st Series) #1-11. Written by STAN LEE. Art by WALLACE WOOD, JOE ORLANDO, and BILL EVERETT. Born to a past-his-prime prizefighter, Matt Murdock's luck always ran a step behind his good intentions. When a daring act to save a man's life results in an accident that blinds young Murdock, he finds that the same accident has enhanced his remaining sense to super-human levels. After his father's murder those powers make him Daredevil, the protector of the New York's mean streets. Launched in 1964, Stan Lee and Bill Everett's Daredevil debut was as gritty as they came, a tale of murder and sacrifice tempered with the desire to protect the downtrodden. Matt Murdock was someone different, and you'll see just why in his inaugural Marvel Masterworks! Featuring the first appearances of core characters like Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, as well as classic villains like the Owl, the Purple Man, Stilt-Man and Electro, and guest-appearances by the Fantastic Four and the Sub-Mariner, they're classics as only Stan Lee made them!

The world's favorite space-faring super hero in his continuing saga of anguish and adventure! He sacrificed himself to save his home world of Zenn-La from the planet-devouring menace, Galactus, saving those he loved in exchange for a life of servitude as the Silver Surfer.

A high point of epic adventure and lyrical drama, The Silver Surfer took the comic-book super hero to all-new heights. Using their ravaged protagonist as a lens through which they could comment on the social injustices of the era, Stan Lee and John Buscema turned the Surfer into the ultimate outsider archetype, reflecting the reader's world in his metallic skin.
