Fantagraphics and Marvel Presents: ‘Lost Marvels’
When Fantagraphics and Marvel teamed up for their exciting series, Lost Marvels, they had a mission in mind. To introduce new fans to the early work of Marvel and to bring back great memories for fans who eat, breathe, and live Marvel from days gone by. They started with their widely successful Lost Marvels No. 1: Tower of Shadows. This book contained the never-collected horror anthology series featuring stories by Jim Steranko, Neal Adams, Barry Windsor-Smith, Stan Lee, John Buscema, and other Silver Age masters. With a line-up like that, what was not to love?
Coming August 12th, Fantagraphics and Marvel bring us the 2nd volume in this exciting series: Lost Marvels No. 2: Howard Chaykin Vol. 1: Dominic Fortune, Monark Starstalker, and Phantom Eagle. This new Howard Chaykin-centered volume is bursting at the seams with smartly imaginative scripts and beautifully designed art featuring Dominic Fortune, Monark Starstalker, and Phantom Eagle!
Exclusive Page Reveal
In advance (barely) of its August 12th release, we are pleased to offer these exclusive pages from the book featuring Domonic Fortune, Chaykin’s 1930s costumed, fortune-seeking adventurer.
About Howard Chaykin
When Howard Chaykin broke into comics in the 1970s, there was nothing quite like him. His original characters Dominic Fortune and Monark Starstalker took classic pulp heroes and ran them through a postmodern blender. This new volume collects some of the most exciting, sought-after work by Chaykin from 1975 to 2008, including retro-science-fiction bounty hunter Monark Starstalker’s debut appearance and all the Dominic Fortune stories, including the character’s unexpurgated Max series, published a generation later.
Completing the package is the collision between pulp heroism and the devastating, bloody realities of World War I in Chaykin’s 111-page collaboration with The Boys writer Garth Ennis on War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle. As the artist behind Marvel’s comic adaptation of the first Star Wars movie and the creator of iconic, influential series like the sci-fi satire American Flagg! and the adults only vampire saga Black Kiss, Howard Chaykin has earned his reputation as a prolific and essential cartoonist.
