Marvel Monsterbus: Monsters, Volume 1

Meer over het boek

The super heroes created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby are known the world over as one of the greatest creative legacies of the 20th century. But before they built Marvel's House of Ideas, Lee, Kirby and the scripter Larry Lieber dwelled in a world of monsters! Now for the first time ever, Marvel is proud to present a two-volume Omnibus series collecting each and every one of the trio's iconic monster masterworks! In titles like World of Fantasy, Journey into mystery, Strange Tales and Amazing Adventures, they devoted hundreds of pages a year to some of the most horrifying, gigantic and sometimes goofy monsters that would ever stomp the face of the Earth. The cast of creatures had as its hallmark an astonishing diversity: Monstro, the giant octopus from the murky depths; Mummex, the mummy taller than any pyramid; Fin Fang Foom, the ancient Chinese dragon of legend; Thorr the unbelievable, a gigantic stone creature; the Hulk, a wooly alien bent on warping the minds of Earthlings; Magneto, an eight-foot giant given magnetic abilities by cosmic mist; and Groot, the monster from Planet X, come to take over the galaxy decades before he would charm millions at the movies. Whether aliens, dinosaurs or sea creatures, the Lee/Kirby/Lieber team could do it all. These monster romps would become a collaborative crucible, allowing them to hone their creative partnership
