Secret
Origins of the Super DC Heroes |
|
|
An indispensible collection of the origin stories
of all the DC big guns, in both their Golden Age and Silver Age
versions: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern,
Hawkman, The Atom, Green Arrow, plus the Golden Age origins of Plastic
Man and Captain Marvel. Probably the most important single DC superhero
collection.

Neal Adams gorgeous cover highlights my favorite collection of

Fantastic
Four Masterworks Vol. 6
|
|
|
The peak of the Lee-Kirby run on Fantastic Four was in many people's
opinion the issues between #40 and #60.
Heres's the second half of that run, featuring characters introduced
in the previous ten issues: The Inhumans, the Black Panther, and
the Silver Surfer. Lee, Kirby, and Sinnott at their peaks on the
comic that best embodied the early Marvel Age.
-- James Friel
The Kirby/Lee team defined the FF and they were at their peak form
in this volume. Some spotty reproduction in
places but I was willing to overlook it.
