American Update: Atlas Explosion Tie-In! Marvel Masterworks for Journey Into Mystery, Strange Tales, Suspense and Astonish
*Modern Reprints: Crossing over with our Atlas event elsewhere in our lists, this week we present several (seven, to be precise) of the Atlas Era Marvel Masterworks, handsome full-colour hardcovers reprinting entire series in sequence. Most of these are now out of print, and highly sought after. We have Journey Into Mystery Vol 3, Strange Tales Vol 4, Tales of Suspense Vols 2, 3 & 4 and Tales to Astonish Vols 2 & 3, all VF/NM condition. Journey Into Mystery and Strange Tales cover the period when those titles were transitioning between Pre- and Post-Code stories, and the Suspense and Astonish volumes are bang in the middle of the ‘Big Panty Monster’ era, with Goom, Oog, Klagg, Moomba, Sporr, Rommbu, Thorr and all their merry chums threatening the Earth on a monthly basis. Of particular interest to Marvel Universe completists may be the Tales to Astonish volumes, reprinting the debuts of Groot (later famous in the Guardians of the Galaxy) and Hank Pym (later Ant-Man, Giant-Man, Goliath, Yellowjacket, etc.) respectively. Pictured are Tales of Suspense Volumes 3 & 4, and Tales to Astonish Volumes 2 & 3, all VF/NM at £50 each; details on the others may be found on our website catalogue.
