Peter Parker’s past comes back to haunt him in his latest and greatest Marvel Masterworks volume! Doc Ock has returned, and he’s brought the ghost of Hammerhead with him! And those two aren’t the only ones back from the grave: The Kingpin is out to resurrect his son, and he can only do it if Spider-Man dies! The danger doesn’t stop there, either, as the Punisher sets his sights on Spider-Man in an adventure guest-starring the X-Men’s Nightcrawler, dinosaurs rampage down Broadway in the war of the reptile-men, one of Spidey’s oldest foes hijacks the Spider-Mobile, and J. Jonah Jameson secures proof of Spidey’s secret identity in the return of the Spider-Slayer! Reserve your copy today! Collecting AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #156-168 and ANNUAL #10.

MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE X-MEN VOL. 6 TPB
Written by ROY THOMAS with ARNOLD DRAKE, DENNIS O’NEIL & LINDA FITE
Penciled by SAL BUSCEMA with DON HECK, WERNER ROTH & SAL BUSCEMA
Cover by NEAL ADAMS & RICHARD ISANOVE
1969: The X-Men, Marvel’s poorest-selling title, was in dire need of a shot in the arm. Enter Roy Thomas and Neal Adams, and readers witnessed one of the most amazing evolutions in Marvel history! These two titanic talents threw caution to the wind with sensational stories that brought the X-Men in synch with the thriving youth culture of the late ’60s. Adams’ lavish and dynamic visuals merged with Thomas’ challenging and contemporary stories to create a comic-book series that throbbed with the pulse of the times like none other. Thrill to the introduction of mutant mainstay Havok, the vampiric villain Sauron, the Mutates and Sunfire; battles against the Living Pharaoh and the Sentinels, a classic team-up with Ka-Zar in the Savage Land, and the return of Magneto and Professor X! Collecting X-MEN (1963) #54-66.

Even for Captain America, life has rarely been this eventful! Battling the robotic Dragon Man above New York, considering a run for president, and saving Manhattan from fiery destruction at the hands of Batroc and Mr. Hyde is all in a day’s work. And a trip to England proves to be no vacation, either, as Cap encounters the vampire Baron Blood and the chilling Ghost of Greymoor Castle! Back home in the States, our hero learns Hollywood plans to make a Captain America movie — the only problem is, his greatest foe, the Red Skull, has a very different script in mind! Finally, Cap must prevent Morgan MacNeil Hardy from rewriting the American dream — but can even Spider-Man help him stop the cyborg SULTAN from destroying Washington, D.C.?

WARLOCK BY JIM STARLIN: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION TPB
Written by JIM STARLIN
Penciled by JIM STARLIN
Cover by JIM STARLIN
At ’70s Marvel, no one mastered the startling scope and high-concept complexity of cosmic adventure like Jim Starlin! And his work on Adam Warlock set the tone for star-spanning spectacle that is considered a high-water mark to this day. Starlin evolved Warlock to the next level, imbuing the character with the inner demons of a man-god on the brink of insanity. Forced to confront an evil version of himself and the nihilistic menace Thanos, Warlock’s conflicts weren’t just knuckle-grinding throw-downs — they were epic, existential struggles for his very soul. Featuring the first-ever assembling of the Infinity Gems; the debuts of Gamora and Pip the Troll; and an all-out struggle to save the universe joined by the Avengers, Captain Marvel and Spider-Man! Collecting STRANGE TALES (1951) #178-181, WARLOCK (1972) #9-15, AVENGERS ANNUAL #7 and MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE ANNUAL #2.
