Our picks this week. Click the links to order from Amazon.
Like all great comic-book artists, Arthur Adams earned his way in through long, hard work — by hitting the pavement with his portfolio in hand. But it didn’t seem that way. Adams seemed to burst out of the clear blue sky with an avalanche of unbelievable artwork. Energetic, richly detailed, full of character and just plain fun, his art merged East and West — bringing manga influences to American readers and influencing a generation of future artists. Now, this Omnibus collects Adams’ complete Marvel work from the 1980s through the early 1990s in one volume! From Longshot to the X-Men to the New Fantastic Four; from covers galore to pinups, posters and trading cards — not to mention a huge trove of pencils and original art — this is your be-all, end-all Arthur Adams Omnibus!
Collecting LONGSHOT #1-6, NEW MUTANTS SPECIAL EDITION #1, X-MEN ANNUAL (1970) #9-10, CLOAK AND DAGGER (1985) #9, X-FACTOR (1986) #41-42, EXCALIBUR: MOJO MAYHEM and FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #347-349 — plus material from WEB OF SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #2, X-MEN ANNUAL (1970) #12 and #14, FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #358, and MARVEL HOLIDAY SPECIAL (1991) #1.
The first solo adventures of the iconic Silver Surfer from the Marvel Age of Comics, collected in a smaller format that's perfect for new readers!
When the world devourer Galactus arrived at the planet Zenn-La, one man stood up to sacrifice himself: Norrin Radd. In exchange for forgoing his limitless hunger, Galactus transformed Norrin into the Silver Surfer and forced him into servitude as his herald. But all that changed on the planet Earth. Free of Galactus, but trapped on our planet, the sensational Silver Surfer’s solo series boasts double-length tales of cosmic conflict. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Buscema, they are some of the most masterful Marvel sagas ever produced. Not only will you be awed by the Surfer’s origin, be torn down to the depths of hell by Mephisto and engage in a battle with Thor that shakes the heavens!
