This year, Fantagraphics will release three hardcover volumes in the Lost Marvels series, created in collaboration with Marvel Comics. More collections are being planned over the next few years.
“Marvel has published an incredible amount of work that fell outside the realm of superheroes in the 60s, 70s and 80s, most of which have never been reproduced before. “Exceptional artisans and artists were often featured – Barry Windsor Smith, Stellanco, John Buschema, Jean Collan, Neil Adams, Howard Chakin, and more – and one of the goals of this project is that many comic book leaders can be attractive or attractive. Artisans of the 1950s.”

Please read the official press release below:
Since its founding as a timely comic in 1939, Marvel has published some of the most iconic series in American comic history, including the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the X-Men, building an unparalleled library of characters and stories that have shaped pop culture. For over 45 years, Fantagraphics has published the best comics and graphic novels from the media, including Love & Rockets, Eightball, and my favourite monsters. Currently, these two publishing Titans are teaming up for Lost Marvel, an ambitious series of hardcover releases featuring previously collected comics by the Silver Age Masters, including Neil Adams, John Busika, Howard Chakin, Stan Lee, Jim Stellanco, Barry Windsor-Smith and other Silver Age Masters.
Fantagraphics will be releasing three hardcover volumes in this year’s Lost Marvels series. All of these will be produced in collaboration with Marvel Comics, with more releases coming in the coming years.
In April, Fantagraphics published Lost Marvels No. 1: Tower of Shadows, collecting all nine issues in the series. In 1969, with the established line of innovative superheroes, Marvel got the chance to have a supernatural Ec-style anthology series that had been forbidden since the formation of the comic code in the 1950s. Tower of Shadows featured incredible artists and writers, including Neil Adams, Jim Stellanco, Barry Windsor Smith, John Busima, Jean Collan, Wallywood, Stanley, Roy Thomas, John Romita, John Nei Craig, Marie Severin, Jerry Conway, Berny Wrightson, Bernie Wrightson, several others, and Jane Collan. Freed from the conventions of superhero adventure, these creators brought storytelling skills to a more quietly ominous genre, creating a twisted suspense and third-niche atmosphere of horror, including Roy Thomas and Tom Palmer’s “Model of Pickman” adaptation.
In July, Fantagraphies will publish Lost Marvels No. 2: Howard Chaykin Vol. 1: Dominic Fortune, Monarch Starker, and Phantom Eagle. When Howard Chakin invaded the comics in the 1970s, there was nothing like him. His original characters, Dominic Fortune and Monarch Star Starker, took the classic pulp heroes and ran them through postmodern blenders. This new volume collects some of Chaykin’s most exciting and sought after work from 1975 to 2008. Finishing the package is a clash between Pulp’s heroism and the devastating, bloody reality of World War I in a 111-page collaboration with boy writer Garth Ennis. As the artist behind Marvel’s first Star Wars movie comic adaptation, and as the creator of an iconic and influential series like SF Satire American Flag! And Howard Chaekin, the adult-only vampire saga black kiss, has gained a reputation as a prolific and essential cartoonist.
In November, Fantagraphies will publish Lost Marvels No. 3: Savage Tales. He is best known for his first appearances of Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor Smith’s Conan the Barbarian and Jerry Conway and Grey Moreau’s Man Toe. This volume collects all 11 issues from the series, featuring the works of Stan Lee, John Romita, Dennis O’Neill, Al Williamson, Jim Stellanco, John Buscema, and many other legendary creators who offer a high octane combination of fantasy, horror and action.
