Volume 2 - 1st printing. Collects Human Torch Comics (1940-1949) #5b-8.

Story and art by CARL BURGOS, BILL EVERETT, MICKEY SPILLANE, BASIL WOLVERTON, RAY HOULIHAN, and ART GATES. Cover by ALEX SCHOMBURG.

Marvel presents more Golden Age goodness from 1941-1942. (Yes, folks, odd numbering was not solely the province of modern comic books; the Torch's solo book had two #5s)

This hardcover collection remasters and restores these early adventures featuring two titanic and epic-length battles between the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner. First, amidst a raging World War, Sub-Mariner declares all-out war on the surface world attacking Hitler, Stalin & Mussolini before he sets his sights on New York City. Only the Human Torch, Toro, Kazar, the Patriot and the Angel stand in his way of total world conquest. Then the most fantastic plot in the history of modern warfare plunges the Human Torch and Sub-Mariner into an epic struggle against each other when the villainous Python hypnotizes Torch into aiding Hitler's cause.

Plus, Torch and Toro face off against the Secret Arsenal, the Legion of Despair and Agent X. Also featuring 'Tubby & Tack,' 'Swoopy the Fearless,' stories by pulp legend Mickey Spillane and Basil Wolverton's 'Peculiar People.'

Hardcover, 266 pages, full color.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. Collects Strange Tales (1951-1976) #118-134. Written by STAN LEE and LARRY IVIE. Art by DICK AYERS, BOB POWELL, CARL BURGOS and JACK KIRBY. Cover by JACK KIRBY. Hot dog! It's a treat, the swingin' '60s solo adventures of the Human Torch come to cacophonous conclusion in this much-demanded Masterworks milestone! Written by the one-and-only sultan of the Silver Age, Stan Lee, and illustrated by the Bullen's professor of penciling, Darlin' Dick Ayers, these tales of the Torch (and his odd-couple partner, the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing) are bona fide and certified cover-to-cover fun! Join in as the Torch tests his mettle against the Wizard, the riotous Rabble Rouser and Plantman. Then, place your bets in the battle of fire and ice between Johnny Storm and the X-Men's Iceman, illustrated by Jack Kirby! After that we waste no time because it's team-up time. The Thing joins the show and wastes no time getting down to clobberin' time vs. Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, Paste-Pot Pete, the Beetle (not those Beatles, they come later), the Mad Thinker and the Puppet Master. And before we close it all down comes...the Watcher! Guest-staring the Amazing Spider-Man, the X-Men, four guys named John, Paul, George and Ringo, and if that doesn't sell you on it, then I've got five words that will: "Thing in a Beatle wig." That's it! We stuck a fork in ya. So reserve that copy today, True Believer! Hardcover, 256 pages, full color. Cover price $54.99.
