American Update: The Atlas Explosion! The Black Knight — 1950s Joe Maneely Cult Classic
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: In mediaeval times, Sir Percy of Scandia fought the evil Modred in a Hollywood version of King Arthur’s Court, as reinterpreted by Stan Lee and doubtless created in the hope of riding the coattails a range of cinematic successes. However, illustrator Joe Maneely gave the predictable tropes vivid life and vigour with his exquisite linework, which, although reprinted many subsequent times, has sadly been generally badly produced, losing much of the beauty and detail of the original comics. This character’s connection to the mainstream Marvel Universe has been established through his villainous and heroic descendants (one Master of Evil, one Avenger), so there will always be demand for this series, but mostly it’s hotly pursued for the sheer quality of the work. We have three of the five-issue run in stock, all in mid to low grades, making them uncommonly affordable, proportionately speaking. Issue #1 is PR at £35, #3 FA £30 and #5 GD- £45.
