J.M. DEMATTEIS JOINS THE DEFENDERS FOR A CELEBRATED RUN!

J.M. DeMatteis begins his celebrated tenure with comics’ most famous non-team, the Defenders! Along with artist Don Perlin, he’ll take Doctor Strange, Hulk, Nighthawk, Hellcat and the Son of Satan on wild adventures into the occult—and against each other. These weird tales begin with a broken Eternity, evolve to include demons, Dracula and the Devil-Slayer, and culminate in a double-sized issue #100 extravaganza. If the Defenders can’t prevail it’ll be hell on Earth—literally! Collectively known as “The Six-Fingered Hand Saga,” it’s one of the most compelling Defenders adventures of all time. This beautiful hardcover edition also features the first appearance of the Gargoyle, the return of the Silver Surfer and Sub-Mariner and a tragic turn for Nighthawk!

GET DOWN, MASTERWORKS! IT’S HOWARD THE DUCK IN 2021!

Trapped in a Masterworks he never made! There were several worthy candidates for the milestone 300^th Masterworks edition, but only one waddled away with election victory: Howard the Duck! In Howard, Steve Gerber and his artistic cohorts Val Mayerik, Frank Brunner and Gene Colan delivered one of comics’ most iconoclastic and hilarious characters. We kick things off in his inaugural Masterworks with his quirky first appearance as a “fowl out of water” alongside the macabre Man-Thing. Then it’s off to Cleveland where the Man-Frog and Hellcow lurk. The satirical stories continue with Howard and gal pal Beverly Switzler taking on dire threats such as the Space Turnip, the Beaver and — public transportation??!  And then: Howard runs for president! All restored in Masterworks glory!

GHOST RIDER MAKES HIS BLAZING MASTERWORKS DEBUT IN 2019!

Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider, makes his Marvel Masterworks debut!

In 1972, one of the most iconic characters in comic book history, the flame-skulled Ghost Rider, burned his demonic presence into readers’ minds. Forevermore, a legion of fans were addicted to the Rider’s combination of hell-on-wheels drama and action-horror adventure. And it all begins here when Johnny Blaze makes a deal with the devil to save his friend’s life. The payment? Transformation into the Ghost Rider. The stories that follow will take the horror hero to Hell to battle Satan, pit him against the tempting Witch-Woman and team him with Daimon Hellstrom, Son of Satan. Written by Gary Friedrich and gloriously illustrated by Mike Ploog, Tom Sutton and Jim Mooney, this iconic series is beautifully restored for this Marvel Masterworks edition.

STEVE GERBER JOINS THE DYNAMIC DEFENDERS!

The Dynamic Defenders, comicdom’s #1 non-team, are back and they’ve never been better! Hulk, Dr. Strange, Sub-Mariner, Valkyrie and Nighthawk join up with Luke Cage, Daredevil and Son of Satan to take on the likes of the Wrecking Crew, Satannish and Asmodeus.

Then, spinning out of a storyline in Marvel Two-In-One, comes Steve Gerber! Deconstructing genre conventions and adding a healthy dose of absurdity, Gerber’s innovative Defenders run turned the expectations of readers on their heads, so suitably we’re including the original Atlas Era appearances of the Headmen: Gorilla Man, Jerold Morgan and Chondu the Mystic! Topped off with a Giant-Size battle royale with the Grandmaster and a Squadron Sinister rematch, this one is a Marvel Masterworks if there ever was!
