Description: This new volume in Fantagraphics' and Marvel’s collaborative Atlas Library presents Girl Comics #1-12, a long unseen subversion of romance comics beautifully designed for a new generation of readers!In 1950, Timely/Atlas/Marvel took a typical romance title called Girl Comics and turned it into a sister companion to its successful men’s-adventure comics: an empowering girls’-adventure comic! Mystery, adventure and suspense was promised and delivered! At the hands of a stellar artistic line-up, including John Buscema, Mike Sekowsky, Bill Everett, Joe Maneely, Russ Heath, and Bernard Krigstein, Girl Comics evolved from heart-stricken love stories to hair-raising girl-power thrill rides like “The Death Plunge!,” “The House of Shadows!,” “I was a Murderer’s Daughter!,” “They Called me a Spy!,” “The Dead Hands at the Controls,” and “The Dark Hallway.”This volume also features the story behind the stories, with editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo’s essays on Marvel publisher Martin Goodman’s enthusiastic relationship with romance comics and magazines at a time when the artform was cementing itself into American youth culture! Cover Artists: Al Hartley, Russ Heath, Pete Tumlinson, Bill LaCava, George Klein, Mike Esposito
