Marvel Masterworks comic books issue 3

Volume 3 - 1st printing. Collects Avengers (1963-1996 1st Series) #21-30.

Written by Stan Lee. Art by Don Heck.

Iron Man, Thor, Giant-Man and the Wasp with a trio of former super villains, readers thought he'd gone mad. As it turned out, the only thing crazy about the adventures of Earth's Mightiest Heroes was how insanely exciting the lineup of Captain America, Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch became! With super-sized conflict within the team and colossal menaces without, the drama made every issue a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat extravaganza. Classic stories including battles with Kang the Conqueror, Doctor Doom, Power Man and the Enchantress, and Attuma will prove that the Avengers are the world's preeminent heroes - while revelations like Captain America's departure will test the team at its most fundamental level. But it won't just be Cap's Kooky Quartet against the world forever.

In these pages, you'll see also the return of Giant-Man and the Wasp, and Hank Pym's transformation into Goliath! And with the first appearances of the Collector, the Swordsman and the Sons of the Serpent - not to mention the entrance of the Black Widow into the Avengers' world - there's no questioning this collection's a MARVEL MASTERWORKS!

The MARVEL MASTERWORKS are proud to present the continuing adventures of Col. Nick Fury in the Swinging Sixties!

The irascible Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s series was a truly innovative lightning-in-a-bottle merger of comics and the spy craze of the day, and where better to start our collection than with a Nick Fury origin issue housed inside an iconic Jim Steranko cover? Next up: Steranko's last S.H.I.E.L.D. epic, "Whatever Happened to Scorpio?," will dazzle you before we launch into a new era of adventures including a moon-busting space mission, a mind-bending trip Fury may never come back from and a sub-earth battle with Supremus!

Then, Nick Fury faces one of his oldest enemies in the Hate-Monger (a.k.a. Adolf Hitler); the British invade as Steve Parkhouse and Barry Windsor-Smith offer the one-shot "Hell Hath No Fury;" and Hydra returns with its sights set on assassinating the S.H.I.E.L.D. director. It's a cliffhanger that will shock and surprise you!

Also packed with cool covers from the Colonel's many S.H.I.E.L.D. reprint comics, and his appearance from MARVEL SPOTLIGHT #31, this Masterworks completes every fan's classic Nick Fury library!

Written by CHRIS CLAREMONT and JOHN BYRNE. Art and cover by JOHN BYRNE.

The creative team that took the X-Men to their greatest heights-Claremont and Byrne-returns, so why worry, why wait, why not just dive straight into a full-out battle with Magneto! The Master of Magnetism has a score to settle with the students of the Xavier School, and each member of the merry mutants must struggle to hold onto their humanity as their nemesis strips them to their very core. A narrow escape leads them out of the fire, into the frying pan (a.k.a. the Savage Land) where they face Sauron and the immortal Garokk, the Petrified Man. As they refined their uncanny team, Claremont and Byrne began to peel back the layers of mystery behind their increasingly popular hot-headed Canuck, Wolverine. You'll see his healing factor put on display for the first time, meet Mariko, a woman who seems to know the details of his shrouded past, and learn that he has a name, an enigmatic name-"Logan." Meanwhile, thinking her teammates killed in their battle with Magneto, Jean Grey heads for Muir Island in the beginning of the storyline that will culminate in the Dark Phoenix Saga! That's not all, though, there's one more battle ahead for the X-Men, and it's against the fan-favorite super team from up north-Alpha Flight!

It's a jam-packed Tales of Suspense monster bonanza! And you know you can't keep a good monster down. No way, no how, and before they revolutionized the super hero set, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby made monsters their daily diet. Klaag. Oog. Bruttu. Monstrollo. Skyscraper-tall lumbering beasts from outer space; muck-covered monsters from the Savannah swamps; lost world anachronisms from beyond time; and they were all here to teach humanity a lesson, whether we liked it or not. And after Kirby scares you with his creatures from the id, Steve Ditko will tear at your conscience-from the inside out-in tense suspense-thrillers cast with nervous-eyed dreamers and sweaty-palmed schemers, none of whom make it out with getting theirs.

Each and every tale is executed by a master of storytelling-by the talents that defined the comic book medium for a generation-and each one is brought to you, gleamingly restored, in the fan-favorite Marvel Masterworks line!

From the heart of the Golden Age of Comics, the white-hot hero of the decade, the Human Torch, comes burning at you with another exciting quartet of never before reprinted comic adventures!

Between keeping America safe on the homefront and fighting the Axis powers abroad, the Torch and his kid sidekick Toro have their work cut out for them. They'll face Nazi rockets, Gestapo madmen, fifth columnists and more as they fight the good fight for the U.S.A. The action really gets going in the massive, 45-page "Death Dance of the Atlantic" when the Torch and Toro find the Sub-Mariner manning a Nazi U-boat. It's an action-packed dash to capture comics' most tempestuous sometimes-hero and decode the Axis' secret signal system, told in the manner that made Marvel great. Backed up by solo Sub-Mariner tales, along with the boy adventurer Jimmy Jupiter and humor shorts by the likes of Basil Wolverton, every issue is a cornucopia from Marvel's early years.
