Marvel Masterworks: Atlas Era Tales to Astonish #4

This handsome 2011 hardcover from Marvel's Masterworks line collects Tales to Astonish issues #31–51 and #54, gathering a rich run of Atlas-era monster and suspense stories in one elegant volume. The cover — penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Dick Ayers — reproduces a memorably eerie original: a hulking green figure looms outside a city window at night, while a terrified man inside cries out that there is "a monster at my window!" It's a perfect distillation of the wide-eyed, anything-can-happen spirit that made these early Marvel anthology tales so compulsively readable.
