Also providing heaping helpings of suspense, scares and twist endings are 1950s comics luminaries like Wally Wood, Al Wiliamson, Bernie Krigstein and Gene Colan. These rare stories are collected here for the first time and bring you one zombie-shuffling step closer to completing your JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY library!

Combating everyone from World War II Axis armies to voodoo priestesses and atomic saboteurs, the super heroes of the Golden Age engaged in adventures wilder than any other. And in the pages of ALL-WINNERS COMICS, the solo adventures of Captain America, the Sub-Mariner, the Human Torch and their cohorts were worth every thin dime. Of course, Marvel's greatest Golden Age heroes had already been together in one book, but there was one winning concept that hadn't been explored - a team-up! Now, at last, the fantastic tales that brought together Captain America, Bucky, the Human Torch, Toro, the Sub-Mariner, Miss America and the Whizzer as Marvel's first super-hero team - the All-Winners Squad - are presented complete and painstakingly restored for the first time!

Joining forces, these seven heroes appeared in two amazing book-length adventures in which they raced to solve the perplexing riddle of Isbisa, and journeyed across the globe and back in a fierce fight with Madame Death and the Future Man!

Also including the one-issue relaunch of ALL-WINNERS featuring the beautiful Blonde Phantom, this volume proudly completes your collection - making us winners one and all!

Volume 4 - 1st printing. Collects Amazing Spider-Man (1963-1998 1st Series) #31-40. Written by STAN LEE and STEVE DITKO. Art by STEVE DITKO and JOHN ROMITA. Cover by STEVE DITKO and DEAN WHITE. Spinning Spidey's webs to greater and greater heights, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created an unabashed cultural phenomenon in The Amazing Spider-Man. Their blend of Peter Parker's everyday woes, mixed with his webslinging alter ego's super-heroic exploits, was something undeniably special. And after years of perfecting that formula, they unleashed their Spider-Man masterpiece-the Master Planner saga. Spidey roots out the secret hideout of the mastermind that has been terrorizing New York, but he won't take him down without a challenge. Buried under a mountain of machinery with the clock ticking and Aunt May's life on the line, Stan and Steve put Spider-Man through the most wrenching experience of his career and define a hero in the process. They'll also introduce you to Gwen Stacy for the very first time; show you around the campus at E.S.U.; and run the gamut from Kraven the Hunter to "Just a Guy Named Joe" before a new talent joins the Spider-Man family. The Jazzy One, John Romita, makes his Spider-Man debut! And oh, what a debut it is! His identity uncovered by the Green Goblin, Spidey finds himself fighting for his life only to discover the Goblin is none other than Norman Osborn. To top it off you'll get the Green Goblin's origin in an edge-of-your-seat Marvel classic, and, as an amazing never-before-seen bonus, the complete pencils to Amazing Spider-Man #31!

Volume 4 - 1st printing. Collects Thor (1962-1996 1st Series - Journey Into Mystery) #121-130.

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

Holy Mjolnir, True Believer! 'Tis time for another monolithic masterpiece of Mighty Thor mania! And how! We lieth not, we're preparing an assaulting assemblage of Asgardian artifacts as only Stan and Jack could articulate them.

Featuring the one and only Thunder God in the tales that put the cosmic in comics. It all kicks off with a slobbernocker of knock-down, drag-out proportions with the Absorbing Man in the very halls of Asgard! While in the outskirts of outer Mongolia (yes, that far out) a Demon powered by a mystic Norn stone dwells. Thor may be able to handle this magical miscreant, but how will he fare in a toe-to-toe with the Prince of Power, Hercules-especially when the All-Father Odin has cut the Thunder God's power in half? All we'll say is it's safer than betting on the ponies! It all leads to a battle of epic proportions that takes the Thunder God to the depths of the Underworld itself to fight the legions of Pluto! And lest we forget the titanic Tales of Asgard! Nay, we dare not!

Prepare yourself to learn the secrets of Ragnarok and more.
