CONCLUDING A CLASSIC COSMIC EPIC!

The Marvel Masterworks line is proud to present one of comics’ most mind-blowingly cosmic sagas. At ’70s Marvel there was no one who quite mastered the startling scope and high-concept complexity of truly cosmic adventure like writer/artist and overall Renaissance man, Jim Starlin. His first effort with Captain Marvel redefined a character. His second with Adam Warlock set the tone for star-spanning spectacle that is considered a high-water mark to this day.

Taking the legacy laid out by Lee, Kirby, Thomas and Kane, Jim Starlin evolved Warlock to the next level, imbuing the character with the furies and inner demons of a man-god on the brink of insanity. Forced to confront the Magus, an evil vision of himself, and the nihilistic menace, Thanos, Warlock’s conflicts weren’t just knuckle-grinding throw-downs; they were epic, existential struggles for his very soul.

Culminating in the first-ever assembling of the Infinity Gems, and featuring the first appearances of such cosmic Marvel mainstays as Gamora and Pip the Troll (not to mention an all-out struggle to save the universe joined by the Avengers, Captain Marvel and Spider-Man,) this Masterworks edition is definitive Marvel. So reserve that copy today, True Believer!
