Description: The Goddess of Love...and SF horror: The eagerly anticipated single volume collecting the 10 rare issues of the overstuffed Venus comics!
Brief description: Bill Everett (1917-1973) was the foundational artist of Marvel Comics. He originated Namor, the Sub-Mariner as a freelance creation, before placing it in Marvel Comics #1, the first publication from Timely Comics, later Atlas, then Marvel. Everett wrote and drew the early appearances of the character from 1940-42, and would periodically return to him during the post-war '40s, right up until the early 1970s. During Atlas' heyday, Everett worked extensively on horror anthology shorts, including taking over the romance/fantasy series Venus and converting it to straight horror. After Marvel's wholesale move to a superhero universe, Everett co-created the blind hero Daredevil with editor/scripter Stan Lee.
Review Quotes: This is a beautiful presentation of a very strange time in Marvel's publishing history. And a fun, very weird book to read.-- "Cinema Sentries"
