Written by STAN LEE and LARRY LIEBER. Art by JACK KIRBY, STEVE DIKTO, DON HECK and PAUL REINMAN. Cover by JACK KIRBY.

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!

Prepare yourself for another dramatic dose of monsters from the mind of Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko's strange suspense thrillers from TALES TO ASTONISH!

There's more big monster rampages than you can shake a stick at with Trull the Inhuman-a mechanical beast that would make a monster truck shudder- the menace of Moomba, the Creature from Krogarr, the Gorilla-Man, the Abominable Snowman, and the first-ever appearance of Hank Pym, the man who would become Ant-Man! To top it off, there's Steve Ditko's suspenseful shorts that will take you to the farthest reaches of the universe and the darkest depths of the human soul. Each tightly-told tale is a lesson for mankind that will make you think twice before you turn out the light! These strange stories were the mortar in the foundation of the House of Ideas, where Stan Lee and his two greatest collaborators built the synergy and style that would turn the comics' world on its head. So sign up for your copy today, and experience the energy of their imaginations in its most raw form!

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Warriors Three: Godhood's End!" By Keith R. A. Candido. The battle between Asgard and the Giants comes full circle with Marvel's Warriors Three: Godhood's End, the riveting conclusion to Keith DeCandido's Tales of Asgard trilogy. Giants are known for their brawn rather than their brains, but in this final volume, one Giant smartly decides to defeat the Aesir not by ending their lives in battle, but by stealing their precious apples of immortality - and letting time take its course. With Thor and Sif now healing slowly from their wounds, it is up to the Warriors Three to save Asgard while facing the kind of mortal danger they've never known.
