Written by Stan Lee. Art by by Jack Kirby, George Roussos, Steve Ditko, Frank Giacoia, Vince Colletta, Chic Stone, Carl Hubbell and Dick Ayers. Cover by Jack Kirby.

From the heart of the Silver Age, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers bring you the World War II adventures of Sgt.

Nick Fury and his crack squad - the Howling Commandos! These creative titans took the Marvel method and applied it to the combat genre, creating the "war comic for people who hate war comics." Starring Nick Fury, Dum Dum Dugan, Gabe Jones, Reb Ralston, Junior Juniper and the rest of the Commandos, the series was an instant hit and would even inspire filmmaker Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.

In this inaugural Sgt. Fury Epic Collection, our heroes battle more Nazis than you can shake a bayonet at, team up with Captain America and Bucky, battle the nefarious Barons Strucker and Zemo - and set out to capture Adolf Hitler himself!

Written by Ted Fox. Art by James Otis Smith.

Since its inception as an African-American theater in 1934, the Apollo, and the thousands of entertainers who performed there, have led the way in the presentation of swing, bebop, rhythm and blues, jazz, gospel, soul, funk and hip-hop-along with the latest in dance and comedy.

The Apollo has nurtured and featured thousands of artists, many of whom have become legends. The beauty they have given the world in their art transcends the hatred, ignorance, and intolerance that often made their lives difficult. Today, the Apollo enjoys an almost mythical status. This graphic novel adaptation of Ted Fox's Showtime at the Apollo brings to life the theater's legendary significance in music history, African American history, and to the culture of New York City.

A new beginning!

The Silver Surfer is back on Earth, but the world he's returned to is not the same one he left. The Fantastic Four and Avengers have fallen to Onslaught - and with the Surfer cut off from his memories and emotions, can he even grieve for them? Perhaps he can with the aid of the first Earth woman who taught him compassion: blind sculptor Alicia Masters! A brutal battle against the rampaging Hulk leads to an eye-opening encounter with Doctor Strange - but as Alicia and the Surfer begin a journey through time and space, mind and soul, can the Surfer cope with the return of a long-forgotten foe and a startling revelation about his home planet, Zenn-La? Or will the demonic Mephisto finally claim his silver soul?

Guest-starring Spider-Man, Daredevil and Alicia's father, the villainous Puppet Master!
