About this Collection

This collection brings together the 2007 Agents of Atlas series, which reimagines a team of obscure Marvel characters from the 1950s as a modern-day covert operations group. The story follows the original Atlas-era heroes—including the Gorilla-Man, M-11 the Human Robot, and Venus—as they reunite under mysterious circumstances and clash with the New Avengers over their secretive agenda. Written by Jeff Parker with art by Leonard Kirk, the volume explores themes of legacy and identity within the Marvel Universe's hidden history.

"Part I: The Golden History" kicks off with a chilling twist: a robot, bound by a final command, executes its creator—then turns its lethal programming on the thief who tried to steal it. As the machine prowls the night, hunting men in rooms, the stakes rise with every shadowed step. Penciled by John Romita and inked by John Romita, this gripping tale unfolds with a cold precision, while the cover by Tomm Coker captures the eerie stillness before the violence begins.
