STEVE GERBER’S OMEGA THE UNKNOWN IS THE 350TH MARVEL MASTERWORKS!

In the 1970s, Steve Gerber revolutionized comics. His innovative work on Man-Thing, The Defenders and Howard the Duck opened creative avenues that excited readers and inspired a generation of creators. So, when Marvel announced an all-new character co-created by Gerber, anticipation was fever pitch. Omega the Unknown debuted in late 1975. It featured an enigmatic approach to one of the most compelling stories: the stranger in a strange land. Jean-Michael Starling, a boy with a mysterious past, holds a curious connection to the super-powered being Omega. Their quest to understand the gritty world of New York City’s reveals as much about us as it does them. As their secrets are revealed and the action unfolds in the Marvel manner, you’ll come to understand why Omega holds a place as one of the most influential series of its time.

Led by the winged Aeroika, the trio prepare for battle against the Unnamable, but one of their own has already been compromised! The ladies of the Defenders have things handled with Fem-Force and Mutant Force—until Mandrill makes the scene!
