War Comics is where it all began -- unseen in decades, scanned from the original books, restored and packaged as one large, beautiful hardcover volume. Author Biography Joe Maneely (1926-1958, b. Philadelphia, PA) blazed a trail through Marvels 1950s comic books that is unsurpassed in both quantity and quality. Maneely was revered as a lightning-fast talent, and he launched most of Marvels character features during that time, excelling at every genre -- westerns, horror, humor, and war. He is best remembered today for his signature character, The Black Knight. Maneelys career was tragically cut short in June 1958 when, at the age of 32, he accidentally fell between the cars of a moving commuter train. Eugene Jules Colan (1926 - 2011) illustrated many war comics for both Timely/Atlas and DC Comics. He flourished after Atlas became Marvel, with notable stints plotting and drawing on Daredevil and Captain America in the 1960s, before co-authoring Howard The Duck with Steve Gerber and Tomb of Dracula with Marv Wolfman. Russell Heath Jr. (1926 - 2018) was an American artist best known for his comic book work, particularly his DC Comics war stories and his 1960s art for Playboy magazines "Little Annie Fanny" feature. Heath was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2009. Dr. Michael J. Vassallo is a noted historian on Marvels early pulp, Timely and Atlas periods. A Manhattan dentist, he spends his free time attempting to bring recognition to artistic creators of the 1940s and 1950s. He has also written introductions to 20 Timely and Atlas Masterworks volumes, dissecting the credits for posterity and providing historical context, as well as writing the detailed captions to the first 210 pages of Taschens 75 Years of Marvel coffee table book. He lives in Westchester County, New York.
