The Goddess of Love…and SF horror: The eagerly anticipated single volume collecting the 10 rare issues of the overstuffed Venus comics!

In the late 1940s, the first half of the Venus series from Marvel Comics predecessors Timely and Atlas Comics was published as a lighthearted romance comic about the goddess Venus taking a job on Earth at a beauty magazine. Never a company to miss a trend, Atlas began introducing more science fiction elements in the 1950s, and eventually turned Venus’ dating adventures into a straight-out horror anthology.

Collected here, 70 years later and for the first time ever, is that swift-changing second half of the 19-issue run. Future Marvel stars Bill Everett (seven issues) and Werner Roth (three issues) take Venus to heights of four-color weirdness and pre-Code horror ghastliness. Everett in particular is given free rein and seizes the opportunity: writing, drawing, and lettering twenty ghoulish and goofy masterpieces, including classics like "Hangman's House," "The Day Venus Vanished," "The House of Terror," "The Sealed Spectors," Tidal Wave of Terror," and the phantasmagorical "Cartoonist's Calamity!"  These stories showcase the brilliant draftsmanship and storytelling of Everett, one of the giants of the 1940s and '50's comic book industry. His slick, fluid line rendered at Timely/Atlas, from his seminal god-child Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, to the atomic age Marvel Boy, is some of the finest pre-Code horror this side of E.C.'s Graham Ingels.

Series editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo assisted in the compilation of the first volume of Venus for Marvel 13 years ago, and Fantagraphics is delighted to publish the horror half as the second title in The Fantagraphics Atlas Comics Library.

Fantagraphics Atlas Comics Library,Marvel, horror, science fiction, romance, mystery, Atlas comics

Fantagraphics is embarking on a project to reprint Marvel Comics’ 1950s genre titles — war, crime, supernatural, funny animal, Western — under its new Atlas Comics Library series. Our first volume, Adventures Into Terror, includes the first eight issues of the pre-Code horror series, a treasure trove of stories drawn by many of the most stylistically accomplished artists of the Golden Age including George Tuska, Carl Burgos, Mike Sekowsky, Joe Maneely, and Joe Sinnott. The second volume, Venus, collects for the first time ever ten rare issues featuring the Goddess of Love and SF horror, where future Marvel stars Bill Everett and Werner Roth take Venus to new heights of four-color weirdness and pre-Code horror ghastliness. The new Fantagraphics Atlas Comics Library series is an event among comics lovers, collectors, and historians! Future volumes include: In The Days of the Rockets! (May 2024), collecting the adventures of Speed Carter, Spaceman as well as Captain Jet Dixon and his Space Squadron, and War Comics (August 2024) which includes the first eight issues of what became the industry's largest line of war books.

Review

"This is a beautiful presentation of a very strange time in Marvel’s publishing history. And a fun, very weird book to read."
