More About the Author
Stan Lee is a man who needs no introduction. Nevertheless: Having begun his career with wartime Timely Comics and staying the course throughout the Atlas era, Stan the Man made comic-book history with Fantastic Four #1, harbinger of a bold new perspective in story writing that endures to this day. With some of the industry's greatest artists, he introduced hero after hero in Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men and more -- forming a shared universe for rival publishers to measure themselves against. After an almost literal lifetime of writing and editing, Lee entered new entertainment fields and earned Marvel one opportunity after another. He remains one of Marvel's best-known public representatives.

Lee - Kirby - Steranko...how can you go wrong, Marvelite?,
This review is from: Marvel Masterworks: Captain America - Volume 3 (Marvel Masterworks (Numbered)) (Hardcover)
Collects Captain America #101-113. I don't see how anybody can buy these in the Essentials edition...they contain so much pulse-pounding color! It's classic villains galore as Cap fights the Red Skull and WWII Exiles, Batroc, Swordsman, the Living Laser, Dr. Faustus and...the fourth Sleeper! Don't miss plenty of angst for Cap over the death of Bucky and his love for Sharon Carter. There's also a nifty retelling of his origin behind one of the best Cap covers of all tiime (issue 109). Plus, This issue also reprints all three of Jim Steranko's much-lauded, groundbreaking issues, wherein Cap takes on the hordes of Hydra and Rick Jones becomes the new Bucky! A true must for any Marvel collection!

Steranko's Cap run is a must for Silver Age Marvel fans,
By
This review is from: Marvel Masterworks: Captain America - Volume 3 (Marvel Masterworks (Numbered)) (Hardcover)
Some of Jim Steranko's best work in the 1960s is in his brief three-issue run in this volume. Forty years later, his ground-breaking cinematic composition still jumps off the page, capturing the dynamism of Kirby but with more of an edge and a lot more illustrative detail and color. Imagine what he could have done with today's high-quality printing and paper. His signature Cap cover, which is the cover of this book, is a Marvel rock album classic that captures the colors and feel of 1968 Peter Max, Roy Lichtenstein and the Pop Art crowd. If you haven't seen his work of 110, 111 and 113 -- get this book. If you remember it from those days, you'll be surprised how well these Steranko stories hold up so many years later.

Kirby Is Here,
By
This review is from: Marvel Masterworks: Captain America - Volume 3 (Marvel Masterworks (Numbered)) (Hardcover)
Kirby finishes his second of 3 historic Captain America runs in this volume. Dynamic action abounds as the Captain protects the American way of life from a long line of would be global dominators. The collection ends with Steranko's all to brief take on Kirby's greatest creation in a tale marked by wild visuals and day-glo symbolism.
The perfect gift for fans of action, freedom, Kirby, Steranko, and Captain America.
