A collection of new horror stories and Atlas-era reprints, from talent including Doug Moench, Dave Gibbons, Alfredo Alcala and others.

After babysitting Wundarr, the Thing teams with Captain America and soon finds himself fighting the Badoon in the far-flung future. This Steve Gerber story is a bit of a mess, with solid-but-unspectacular art support from Sal Buscema and Frank Giacoia.
READ
A “hitherto undiscovered bacterial force” “activates” algae and turns a washed-up Olympic swimmer into Man-Monster. Yes, this uninspired origin story by Tony Isabella, Rich Buckler and Mike Vosburg is as bad as it sounds. But the backup tale – featuring art by Enrique Badía Romero – is decent.
READ
Clea’s efforts to reveal the Defender’s past to Valkyrie reintroduces the team to past perils. This Giant-Size outing features classic Golden and Silver age work from the likes of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Bill Everett and Steve Ditko, along with a gorgeous framing sequence penciled by Jim Starlin.
READ
As Captain America lies dying, the rest of the Avengers find themselves the target of the Assassin’s evil plot. Tony Isabella brings his unexpectedly strong two-parter to a surprise conclusion (or two), with less-than-sterling art (mostly) from Don Heck.
READ
The Assassin targets Captain America – just the first step in a plot to take down all of the Avengers. The first of two surprisingly strong fill-in issues by Tony Isabella, with less-than-exceptional art from Don Heck and John Tartaglione.
READ
When Hell comes under siege from the demon Brimstone, the Grim Ghost finds himself coming to the aid of Satan. A silly story from Tony Isabella – but not a bad one. The same can not be said for the art, a subpar outing from the usually talented Ernie Colón.
READ
A secret race of Cat People turns Greer “The Cat” Nelson into Tigra, a werewoman who must battle both Werewolf by Night and Hydra. Another winner from Tony Isabella, this one illustrated by the journeymen art team of Don Perlin and Vince Colletta.
READ
Captured and framed by the Rat Pack, Tigra soon comes face-to-face with Red Wolf … and a surprise big bad! A one-off gem from Tony Isabella and John Byrne.
