Atlas Era Heroes Vol. 2
Featuring Captain America, Human Torch
& Sub-Mariner; Penciled by JOHN ROMITA, DICK AYERS, BILL EVERETT, MORT LAWRENCE &
BOB POWELL; Cover by JOHN ROMITA
The Atlas Era Hero Revival continues with the
adventures of the comics most famous trio of Communist conquering heroes: Captain
America, the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner! Beginning with the Big Threes
anthology adventures in Mens Adventures, we then dive headlong into Captain
Americas complete 1954 solo series. Illustrated by Bullpen legend John Romita in
some of his very first super hero stories, youll see Cap and Bucky fight Fifth
Columnists, Commie spies and even the Soviet Electro! Next up, its the Human Torch
and Toro! Returned from his slumber by an atomic bomb, the Torch has rejoined his young
sidekick in a battle to clean up threats as amazing and entertaining as vampires, killer
robots and his 1950s nemesis, the Vulture. Their crime-fighting adventures even take on a
global purchase, stretching all the way to the 38th Parallel and Communist Korea! And
finally, for a quick taste of whats to come in Atlas Era Heroes next volume,
comes an assortment of Bill Everetts lavishly drawn tales of the lord of the
Atlantis, Namor the Sub-Mariner. Considered by many to be the definitive take on the
character, Everetts 50s Sub-Mariner is nothing less than treasure from the
deep! Wed be remiss to leave you without a bevy of historical bonuses, including a
rare Human Torch tale that went unprinted for more than a decade, original artwork, Atlas
Era house ads and an introduction by Hero Revival scholar extraordinaire Roy Thomas.
Collecting MENS ADVENTURES #27-28, CAPTAIN AMERICA #76-78, HUMAN TORCH #36-38 and
