Fantagraphics is embarking on a project to reprint Marvel Comics’ 1950s genre titles – war- crime- supernatural- funny animal- Western – under its new Atlas series with the first eight issues of the pre-Code horror series Adventures Into Terror. Atlas holds a special place among aficionados of the genre- producing more horror titles and issues by far- than anyone in the industry. While the quality of E.C.’s six horror/sci-fi titles was unsurpassed with their elite cadre of talent- Atlas was the equivalent of the B-movies studio- churning out anywhere from 8 to 12 different horror titles a month- giving a wider array of artists- including some of the best craftsmen of the era- a chance to show off their talents: in addition to those already mentioned- future volumes will include works by Bill Everett- John Romita- Bernie Krigstein- Jerry Robinson- Harry Anderson- and Matt Fox. Stories from Marvel’s Atlas line have barely been reprinted. The Fantagraphics Atlas Comics Library is the first attempt to publish a carefully curated line of Atlas titles. Our first volume- Adventures Into Terror- includes 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- Basil Wolverton- and Joe Sinnott. Highlights include Russ Heath’s twopart story ‘The Brain’ from issue #4 and ‘Return of the Brain’ from issue #6; Basil Wolverton’s classic ‘Where Monsters Dwell’ from issue #7; Gene Colan’s moody ‘House of Horror’ in issue #3; and Don Rico’s wild layouts are on display from #4’s ‘The Torture Room.’ The stories are written firmly in the tradition of the pulpy- perverse- borderline deranged style that brought Fredric Wertham- the United States Senate Sub-Committee- and public opinion down like a sledgehammer on comics in the early ’50s.
