A student of Burne Hogarth's,   Perlin launched his career in 1951, drawing horror comics for various publishers   and also penciling Will Eisner's The Spirit. After serving in the Army, Perlin returned to comics with   Harvey in the late '50s as well as Charlton in the '60s. In 1973, he began   his long association with Marvel, finishing John Buscema's art on Thor and inking several titles. He   took over Werewolf by Night from Mike Ploog, penciling and inking the book for much of the   next two years. He also penciled and inked the supernatural adventures of   Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider, his name becoming very closely identified with Marvel's   monster biker. In the '80s, he drew Defenders for a long run before turning his attention to Marvel's   adaptation of Hasbro's Transformers.

New Teen Titans, his 1980s collaboration with George Perez, became DC Comics'   biggest hit in years. Wolfman and Perez literally rewrote DC history with Crisis on Infinite Earths.

The monumental popularity of its new style inspired Lee to   develop similarly themed characters - including the Hulk and X-Men with   Kirby, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with Steve Ditko, and Daredevil with   Bill Everett. After shepherding his creations through dozens of issues - in   some cases a hundred or more - Lee allowed other writers to take over, but he   maintained steady editorial control. Eventually, he helped expand Marvel into   a multimedia empire. In recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in   Marvel's films established Lee as one of the world's most famous faces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn Jacob Kurtzberg in 1917 to   Jewish-Austrian parents on New York's Lower East Side, Jack Kirby came of age at the birth   of the American comic book industry. Beginning his career during the rising   tide of Nazism, Kirby and fellow artist Joe Simon created the patriotic hero   Captain America. Cap's exploits on the comic book page entertained millions   of American readers at home and inspired U.S. troops fighting the enemy   abroad. When World War II ended, the public's interest in super heroes waned;   Kirby turned his artistic talents during the 1950s to other genres, such as   monsters, Westerns and crime - as well as the first-of-its-kind Young Romance Comics. In 1961, Kirby   returned to super heroes to illustrate what would become the defining issue   in Marvel Comics history- Fantastic Four #1. Written by Stan Lee, the team's debut revolutionized the   industry overnight. In contrast to the staid artwork of his predecessors,   Kirby's illustrations seemed to leap off the page with eye-popping action and   drama. For the next decade, Kirby and Lee would introduce a mind-boggling   array of new characters - including the Avengers, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man,   the Silver Surfer and the X-Men. Taken together, Kirby's groundbreaking work   with Lee formed the foundation of the Marvel Universe. In the early 1970s,   Kirby moved to DC Comics, where his boundless creativity continued. He   returned to Marvel in 1975, writing and illustrating Captain America and introducing his   final major concept, the Eternals. With the explosion of TV animation during   the 1980s, Kirby's talents turned to the small screen. Comic fans quickly   recognized his work on such series as Thundarr the   Barbarian and Turbo   Teen. Kirby died in 1994, but his influence on the   comic book industry is as strong as ever. His work has inspired a generation   of professional artists and modern writers who continue to explore his vast   universe of concepts and characters.\r\n                                        ","brand":"Marvel Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42345780510911,"sku":"9781302951269","price":135.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/KULhzEcX8usb4EuDOMSbzFCLNqgXvHfmX9sEHfaKW7LgQ_60_60.jpg?v=1683429888"},{"product_id":"marvel-masterworks-the-mighty-thor-vol-22","title":"Marvel Masterworks: The Mighty Thor Vol. 22","description":"                                            Relationships are tricky, even for gods.

After he initially collaborated with   writer Chris Claremont on Iron Fist, Byrne and Claremont moved on to X-Men for a run still regarded as one of the title's finest. Byrne   contributed an equally famed stint on Fantastic   Four, earning comparisons to the original   Lee\/Kirby issues for his imaginative plotlines and dynamic artwork. He also   spun Alpha Flight into   its own title. In 1986, he revamped DC's flagship hero, Superman, reimagining   the Man of Steel in a historic project heralded by a Time magazine cover. His remarkable   contribution to the Marvel Universe extends to memorable associations with   virtually every major hero, including celebrated runs on Captain America, Iron Man, Sensational   She-Hulk, Namor the   Sub-Mariner and Thing. In the 21st century, Byrne's considerable body of work   includes IDW's Star Trek   and Angel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a hard cover version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MARVEL MASTERWORKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42437890605247,"sku":"9781302949396","price":157.25,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/V8uAHcmvStcTSJ5mdh0M17uh47XcIm7ez2ch8kM9-FRd7A_60_60.jpg?v=1691125905"},{"product_id":"marvel-masterworks-the-incredible-hulk-vol-17-hard-cover","title":"MARVEL MASTERWORKS - THE INCREDIBLE HULK VOL. 17 - Hard Cover","description":"\u003ch4\u003eSynopsis\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollects Incredible Hulk (1968) #256-265, Incredible Hulk Annual (1968) #10-11, Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions (1982) #1-3.

Eventually writing stories for almost every Marvel title, he did some of his   most fondly remembered work on Incredible Hulk and Spectacular Spider-Man. He also launched Cloak and Dagger in a pair of miniseries and guided Alpha   Flight through some of its most harrowing ordeals.   Mantlo excelled at integrating licensed properties into the Marvel Universe,   as demonstrated by Micronauts and Rom- Spaceknight, both of which he wrote from start to finish. At DC, he wrote   the Invasion miniseries   for one of the company's biggest crossover events.After   a start as inker to his older brother John, Sal Buscema penciled Captain America, Defenders,   Incredible Hulk and   more. Famed for his ability to meet tight deadlines, he spread his talents   across multiple genres. His 1970s work ranged from Ms.   Marvel and Nova to Sub-Mariner and Spider-Woman's first appearance in Marvel Spotlight. He was the   uninterrupted artist on Spectacular Spider-Man for more than one hundred issues and penciled the   web-slinger's adventures in Marvel Team-Up, in which he and writer Bill Mantlo introduced Captain Jean   DeWolff. After handling more team-ups in the Thing's Marvel Two-in-One, he reunited with   brother John on Steve Englehart's Fantastic Four. He later provided inks for Tom DeFalco's Spider-Girl titles and Thunderstrike miniseries.John   Romita Jr. is a modern-day comic-art master, following in   his legendary father's footsteps. Timeless runs on Iron   Man, Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil established him as his own man artistically, and his work on Wolverine and World War Hulk is among the most   explosive comic art of the 21st century. In addition to Eternals with writer Neil Gaiman,   JRJR teamed with Mark Millar on the creator-owned Kick-Ass, later developed into a blockbuster feature film starring   Nicolas Cage. Spidey fans rejoiced at the artist's return to Amazing Spider-Man with the \"Brand   New Day\" storylines \"New Ways To Die\" and \"Character Assassination.\" He later   helped relaunch Avengers with   writer Brian Michael Bendis and Captain America with Rick Remender, and contributed to the blockbuster   crossover Avengers vs. X-Men. For DC Comics, he has drawn big-name characters such as   Superman, Batman and the Suicide Squad.Multiple   Eisner Award-winner Frank Miller   broke into the comics business during the late 1970s, landing a choice   assignment on the series Daredevil. His work quickly made the title one of Marvel's best-selling   series, as well as establishing Miller as a fan-favorite superstar. During   his tenure on Daredevil,   he introduced the assassin Elektra, who became a major Marvel character in   her own right. After completing his initial run, Miller returned to Daredevil as writer of the acclaimed   \"Born Again\" run with artist David Mazzucchelli; he then collaborated with   John Romita Jr. for the Daredevil- Man Without   Fear limited series. Miller has also had   monumental success with his work on other iconic characters. In 1986, he made   a splash at DC with the wildly popular and hugely influential Batman- The Dark Knight Returns,   which told the tale of an older Batman still fighting crime decades after his   prime. The following year, Miller reteamed with David Mazzucchelli for Batman- Year One, putting a modern   spin on Batman's classic origin story. Miller writes All Star Batman \u0026amp; Robin with   artist Jim Lee, continuing to put his distinctive mark on the Dark Knight.   Miller has parlayed his talents as a comic-book creator to major success in   Hollywood. In 2005, Miller collaborated with Robert Rodriquez to co-direct Sin City, a film that was widely   praised by both fans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a hard cover version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MARVEL MASTERWORKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42437890638015,"sku":"9781302949372","price":157.25,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/KQAeEsyb3q07qWgceZWzwCYmzx-UvV1-1K34FrEAJLWWKA_60_60.jpg?v=1691125929"},{"product_id":"marvel-masterworks-the-amazing-spider-man-vol-02-hard-cover","title":"MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, VOL. 02 - Hard Cover","description":"\u003ch4\u003eSynopsis\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original Marvel Masterworks collection of Amazing Spider-Man, re-released at last!By popular demand!

Recruited to join Stan Lee's Atlas Comics, later Marvel, in 1958, his nuances contrasted well with Jack Kirby's bombast. In 1962, in the pages of Amazing Fantasy, Ditko and Lee brought to life Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man, changing the industry forever. Leaving Marvel in 1966, he drew Blue Beetle and Captain Atom for Charlton, Creeper and Shade the Changing Man for DC, and his independent effort Mr. A. Ditko returned to Marvel during the late 1970s and remained for much of the 1980s, co-creating Speedball, Squirrel Girl and other characters who would prove of unexpected importance in Marvel's later years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a hard cover version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MARVEL MASTERWORKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42445105529023,"sku":"9781302951320","price":135.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/YiHrFVnv1Qjf1rV8iV9Fr1klE5HRb91o0fk94wT-Liz87Q_60_60.jpg?v=1691731596"},{"product_id":"marvel-masterworks-the-fantastic-four-vol-02-hard-cover","title":"MARVEL MASTERWORKS  THE FANTASTIC FOUR VOL. 02 - Hard Cover","description":"\u003ch4\u003eSynopsis\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy popular demand!

Eventually, he helped expand Marvel into a multimedia empire. In recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in Marvel's films established Lee as one of the world's most famous faces.Born Jacob Kurtzberg in 1917 to Jewish-Austrian parents on New York's Lower East Side, Jack Kirby came of age at the birth of the American comic book industry. Beginning his career during the rising tide of Nazism, Kirby and fellow artist Joe Simon created the patriotic hero Captain America. Cap's exploits on the comic book page entertained millions of American readers at home and inspired U.S. troops fighting the enemy abroad. When World War II ended, the public's interest in super heroes waned; Kirby turned his artistic talents during the 1950s to other genres, such as monsters, Westerns and crime - as well as the first-of-its-kind Young Romance Comics. In 1961, Kirby returned to super heroes to illustrate what would become the defining issue in Marvel Comics history- Fantastic Four #1. Written by Stan Lee, the team's debut revolutionized the industry overnight. In contrast to the staid artwork of his predecessors, Kirby's illustrations seemed to leap off the page with eye-popping action and drama. For the next decade, Kirby and Lee would introduce a mind-boggling array of new characters - including the Avengers, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, the Silver Surfer and the X-Men. Taken together, Kirby's groundbreaking work with Lee formed the foundation of the Marvel Universe. In the early 1970s, Kirby moved to DC Comics, where his boundless creativity continued. He returned to Marvel in 1975, writing and illustrating Captain America and introducing his final major concept, the Eternals. With the explosion of TV animation during the 1980s, Kirby's talents turned to the small screen. Comic fans quickly recognized his work on such series as Thundarr the Barbarian and Turbo Teen. Kirby died in 1994, but his influence on the comic book industry is as strong as ever. His work has inspired a generation of professional artists and modern writers who continue to explore his vast universe of concepts and characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a hard cover version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MARVEL MASTERWORKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42461671358655,"sku":"9781302951344","price":135.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/Du7waDB0K4kFqSqTjLMmurkNxOzGqJ44rvAv1ogG47sMdA_60_60.jpg?v=1693111351"},{"product_id":"marvel-masterworks-the-amazing-spider-man-vol-25","title":"MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, VOL. 25","description":"                                            \u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimeless tales from Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz's beloved Spider-Man run!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cb\u003eTom DeFalco and Ron Frenz's fan-favorite AMAZING SPIDER-MAN run continues!

During the 1980s, he headed the creative team that provided fictional biographies for G.I. Joe members, originally included with Hasbro's toys and later used as the basis for multiple storylines on the animated series. Perhaps his best-known work is multi-title character Spider-Girl, whom he introduced in 1998.

His other Marvel work includes Captain Marvel, two lengthy stints on Spider-Man 2099, Ben Reilly- Scarlet Spider and the smash-hit Symbiote Spider-Man limited series with artist Greg Land. David is also a novelist and screenwriter. Among his credits are some forty Star Trek tie-ins; original novels such as Sir Apropos of Nothing, Howling Mad and Knight Life; movies Trancers 4 and Trancers 5; and episodes of Babylon 5 and Crusade. He also co-created the TV show Space Cases with actor-writer Bill Mumy.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWriter and editor Louise Simonson launched Power Pack and Web of Spider-Man and wrote memorable runs on New Mutants and X-Factor - helping map out the \"Mutant Massacre,\" \"Inferno\" and \"X-Tinction Agenda\" crossovers.

At DC, she wrote multiple Superman titles and became one of the main creative forces behind the \"Death of Superman\" saga; her scripts also appeared in Detective Comics, New Titans and more.

With Roger Stern, he introduced the Hobgoblin, covering the mysterious villain's debut and revealing his identity more than a decade later in Hobgoblin Lives. With writer Tom DeFalco on Thor, Frenz debuted a new look and identity for Marvel's Thunder God, eventually branching into Thunderstrike.
