Atlas Era Venus
Courtesy of the Marvel Masterworks line I finally checked out an example from the romance genre of comics from the Golden Age.

Marvel Masterworks To End?
I’ve been sitting on this post for a bit in the hope that a ray of light would shine through and I could write something more along the lines of “phew, that was a near miss!”.
Alas, I haven’t spotted anything to that affect so I’m assuming that the news is correct and as of the end of this year the Masterworks line will be cancelled by Marvel.

The Best Christmas Present? A Couple of Masterworks!
I’m very behind with Marvel Masterworks for reasons which will become clear. Especially if I manage to pull my finger out and do the next series of posts I’m planning!
However! I did get a couple for Christmas: Spider-Woman Vol. 4 and Marvel Two-in-One Vol. 7.

Finally… Marvel Masterworks Atlas Era Jungle Adventure Vol. 3!
What a catchy title for a book! A few months ago, I finally managed to track a copy of this Masterwork down for a not crazy price. As this was the final gap in the older volumes of the Masterworks in my collection, I’d thought I’d briefly celebrate snagging it Read more

Marvel ReMastering the Masterworks!
Interested in the Masterworks line but missed out on those early volumes? This could be just for you!
The news regarding “ReMasterworks” was announced way back in summer 2022 by Marvel but I was rather sceptical. Wouldn’t Marvel be cannibalising it’s own sales in what I presume is a pretty small niche? I decided to sit back and wait until I had some examples in my hands. Well, my scepticism was unfounded. I’m pleased to say the line has been going for at least a year now and the books look great.

Golden Age Marvel Timely
Escape to the Past 6: Namor the Sub-Mariner
Ol’ Subby is probably my favourite from the early 1940s/Golden Age. Not only could Namor’s creator Bill Everett draw – and what lush inking! – he could write. Sure, this is primitive stuff compared to comics published now, but his characters packed plenty of personality! This is helped by this Read more
Bronze Age Marvel Moon Knight
Moon Knight Omnibuses: What Price Nostalgia?
Vaguely tying in with the recent Moon Knight series on Disney+, this year Marvel published a second omnibus volume collecting the classic 1980s comics, including those written by Doug Moench with art by Bill Sienkiewicz. Naturally, I bought the second volume to go with the first but it got it Read more
British Comics Bronze Age Captain Britain Marvel Marvel UK
Captain Britain Omnibus 2022 Edition
On a more fun note than dealing with mouldy books, a few weeks back I got the latest edition of the Captain Britain Omnibus. It’s a very comprehensive tome (which you’d expect with a page count of about 1368!) collecting almost all of Captain Britain’s appearances up to his inclusion Read more
Bronze Age Jack Kirby Marvel The Eternals
Battle of the Omnibuses: The Fourth World & The Eternals
With the latest edition of Jack Kirby’s The Fourth World Omnibus now safely in my clutches, I thought I’d compare it to the recent The Eternals: The Complete Saga Omnibus.

Escape to the Past 4.5: Toro!
This is such a great visual of Toro diving into water. Above water, he’s still on fire but as his head and arms go under his flame is extinguished.
