THE ATLAS CREATOR COLLECTION NO. 3: BILL EVERETT VOL. 1: ON

The latest volume in our new Fantagraphics Atlas Creator Collection focuses on the feverishly imaginative Bill Everett’s brilliant masterpieces of skeletal horror and oozing, creeping dread. Already a Marvel/Timely legend for his creation of the Sub-Mariner in 1939, Bill Everett returned to Marvel during the 1950s to become Atlas’ most versatile and effective practitioner of horror-fantasy. Everett’s art was a combination of Graham Ingels, Harry Anderson, and Bernie Wrightson, with the slick ink line of Jack Davis, all melded within his own uniquely captivating imagery and in-yourface ghastliness. Following the magnificent Creator Collections of Joe Maneely and Al Williamson, Fantagraphics is proud to present here for the first time all of Bill Everett’s Atlas Pre-Code horror stories in one volume! Including: “Spectacles of Doom,” “The Evil Eye,” “The Pit of Horror!” “Horror in the Moonlight!” “Don’t Bury Me Deep,” “One Head Too Many!” “Burton’s Blood!” Werewolf!” “The Madman,” and “The Graymoor Ghost,” from titles like Menace, Journey into Unknown Worlds, Strange Tales, Uncanny Tales, Spellbound, Mystic, Suspense, as well as “Zombie!” from Menace #5, featuring a character rebooted as Simon Garth in the blackand-white Marvel Magazine explosion of the 1970s. An introduction by Atlas expert Dr. Michael J. Vassallo puts it all in context.
