Description
The Lost Marvels series again delves into the misty margins of Marvel's past to shine a light on extraordinary work that has never or rarely been collected for modern readers. This is the first volume of a compendium of some of the legendary Gil Kane's finest storytelling. Freed from the conventions of super-hero battles, Kane's art is a revelation here, capturing in flamboyant, imaginative detail the classic settings and characters of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book tales (made even more vibrant by the great P. Craig Russell's inking); the origin of Ka-Zar from Astonishing Tales; and episodes of Gullivar Jones, Warrior of Mars, an adaptation by Kane and Roy Thomas of the seminal 1905 SF/Fantasy novel. Plus, a genre-hopping gallery of 100 exciting covers by the artist who almost single-handedly defined the look of 1970s-era Marvel.
