WELCOME TO THE FANTASTIC FOUR, SHE-HULK!

Combining a cosmic scope with a heartfelt, earthbound humanism, John Byrne’s run on Fantastic Four remains a high point in Marvel history. Marvel Masterworks continues its collection of that epic era, pitting the FF against Terrax the Terrible, the former herald of Galactus now in the thrall of Doctor Doom! Then, the classic “Trial of Reed Richards” puts the FF’s leader in the stand of a Shi’ar courtroom for the crime of rescuing the god-killer Galactus! The Torch and Thing take on the Mole Man, the Beyonder cometh and welcome to the FF, She-Hulk! Plus: In one of the most emotional stories in comics history, a desperate Reed and Sue place the fate of their unborn child in the hands of Otto Octavius.

MARVEL’S DISCO SENSATION DAZZLER!

Celebrating the women of Marvel, we present the debut of the one and only Dazzler! Leaping from the pages of X-MEN and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, Alison Blaire, a.k.a. Dazzler, debuted in her own series — one of the comic book direct market’s very first exclusive offerings — and put audiences on their feet. Equal parts pop star and super hero, she broke new ground and faced some of the Marvel’s Universe’s greatest powers, from Hulk to Doctor Doom and Galactus, all while fighting against a wave of anti-mutant hysteria. Dazzler also pits her sound-based powers against Klaw, finds herself fighting for her life in prison and contends with every creep in the record business. Don’t hold back, go for it — reserve your copy today!

SKRULLS, SALEM’S SEVEN AND THE SPHINX – PLUS JOHN BYRNE JOINS THE TEAM AS ARTIST!

In their latest, greatest Marvel Masterworks, the Fantastic Four confront one of their oldest enemies, the Skrulls, and they’ll have to do it as their older selves after an aging weapon advances them to death’s door. The talents of Marv Wolfman, Keith Pollard and John Byrne—in his FF debut—keep the story feisty, the art spry and the adventure fantastic. How could it not be when the world devourer Galactus enters the fray with a new herald? As if that wasn’t enough, the cosmic Sphinx, scheming Monocle, combustible Blastaar, formidable Frightful Four and diabolic Salem’s Seven keep the scope epic, the stakes absolute and you on the edge of your seat. And H.E.R.B.I.E.? He’s just keeping it real.

STAN LEE WINDS UP HIS LEGENDARY RUN IN FF MASTERWORKS VOL. 12!

The one and only First Family of Super-Heroing continue their mind-bogglingly imaginative adventures in stories crafted by some of the medium’s greatest storytellers. Lead by Stan “The Man” Lee – in the culmination of his incomparable FF run – and the phenomenal artistry of John Buscema and Joe Sinnott, Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch and the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing face-off against their greatest adversary ever. In a word…Galactus!

The world devourer returns and either the Silver Surfer must submit to his will or the Earth dies! It’s a four-part epic that will make a True Believer out of comic fans young and old. That’s worth the price of admission alone, but since we’re so nice there’s also the Human Torch’s struggle to rescue his lady love Crystal from the alchemical clutches of Diablo; a progressive parable of social consciousness in the Marvel Manner championed by Stan Lee; the secret of the Monster from the Lost Lagoon; and Roy Thomas’ regular-series writing debut on a three-part saga featuring the menacing Mole Man and sultry Kala, Queen of the Netherworld – and topped of with a retelling of the FF’s origin!

Guest-starring the Inhumans, the Black Panther, the world’s weirdest babysitter—Agatha Harkness—and Richard Nixon, it’s a comic extravaganza as only mighty Marvel can make them!
