The Goddess of Loveand SF horror: The eagerly anticipated single volume collecting the 10 rare issues of the overstuffed Venus comics! In the late 1940s, the first half of the Venus series from Marvel Comics predecessors Timely and Atlas Comics was published as a lighthearted romance comic about the goddess Venus taking a job on Earth at a beauty magazine. Never a company to miss a trend, Atlas began introducing more science fiction elements in the 1950s, and eventually turned Venus dating adventures into a straightout horror anthology.Collected here, 70 years later and for the first time ever, is that swiftchanging second half of the 19issue run. Future Marvel stars Bill Everett (seven issues) and Werner Roth (three issues) take Venus to heights of fourcolor weirdness and preCode horror ghastliness. Everett in particular is given free rein and seizes the opportunity: writing, drawing, and lettering twenty ghoulish and goofy masterpieces, including classics like 'Hangman's House,' 'The Day Venus Vanished,' 'The House of Terror,' 'The Sealed Spectors,' Tidal Wave of Terror,' and the phantasmagorical 'Cartoonist's Calamity!' These stories showcase the brilliant draftsmanship and storytelling of Everett, one of the giants of the 1940s and '50's comic book industry. His slick, fluid line rendered at Timely/Atlas, from his seminal godchild Prince Namor, the SubMariner, to the atomic age Marvel Boy, is some of the finest preCode horror this side of E.C.'s Graham Ingels.Series editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo assisted in the compilation of the first volume of Venus for Marvel 13 years ago, and Fantagraphics is delighted to publish the horror half as the second title in The Fantagraphics Atlas Comics Library. Fullcolor illustrations throughout
