In 1969, with its revolutionary superhero line well established, Marvel took a chance on the kind of supernatural, EC-style anthology series that had been banned since the formation of the Comics Code in the 1950s. Tower of Shadows featured a staggering array of artists and writers, including Neal Adams, Jim Steranko, Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema, Gene Colan, Wally Wood, Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, John Romita, Johnny Craig, Marie Severin, Gerry Conway, and Bernie Wrightson, to name a few. Freed from the conventions of the superhero adventure, these creators brought their storytelling skills to a more quietly sinister genre, producing atmospheric gems of twisted suspense and sardonic horror.
Not only do these nine issues feature Marvel’s best creators working at their peak, but Tower of Shadows is one of the lost, never-collected Marvels. In the first of a new series of Lost Marvels, Fantagraphics and Marvel join forces to introduce these pages to a new generation of readers and restore this series to its rightful place in comics history. This gorgeous volume brings every Tower of Shadows story and cover to life in vivid color and features background and analysis by comics journalist Michael Dean.

Atomic Mass Games has revealed two new releases for Marvel: Crisis Protocol, the miniature tabletop wargame. The first set features Weapon X and Maverick while the second features Sunspot and Warlock. Both sets are slated to be released September 13.
The Weapon X and Maverick character pack sees the Weapon X program coming to the game. The set features a new take on Wolverine as well as the debut of Maverick. Other notable Weapon X alumnus already in the game include Wolverine, Sabretooth, Deadpool, X-23, and a few others we can debate about. The set features the two miniatures, 2 character stat cards, 2 team tactic cards, and 1 token sheet. It’ll retail for $39.99.
Wolverine debuted in The Incredible Hulk #180 in 1974 and was created by Len Wein, Herb Trimpe, and Barry Windsor-Smith. The classic story “Weapon X” appeared in Marvel Comics Presents #72-84 in 1991 by Windsor-Smith. Maverick debuted in X-Men #5 from 1992 and created by John Byrne and Jim Lee.
The Sunspot and Warlock character set is the debut of both characters in the game and gives us a hope for a New Mutants faction. The set features both characters’ miniatures, 2 character stat cards, 5 team tactic cards, and 1 token sheet. Other members of the New Mutants already in the game includes Magick. It’ll retail for $39.99.
Sunspot debuted in Marvel Graphic Novel #4: The New Mutants in 1982 and was created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod. Warlock was created by Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz and debuted in 1984 in The New Mutants #18.

Conan is back, and BIGGER than ever. With just a few days remaining in the crowdfunding campaign, Pan-Universal Galactic Worldwide, or PUG Worldwide has revealed some pages supporters will find within the Conan the Barbarian – Colossal Edition!
These original comic art pages reveal not just the narrative within, but also unveil the artist’s journey of crafting worlds through sheer imagination and skill. Within these pages, you’ll witness traces of the artistic process—hints of watery ink, corrections made with white-out, underlying pencil sketches that evolve into fully-realized images, meticulous techniques like razor blade etching for white-on-black effects, and the application of pre-printed tones meticulously affixed to the board.
Since the Conan book has gone live, several art collectors have contacted Zoop and PUG and offered up their own Conan originals for scanning and inclusion in the book. This development has led to the possibility of PUG being able to expand on its Conan line in the future.
Spearheaded by industry veterans John Nee, John Barber and Nate Murray, PUG Worldwide’s first release is the Conan The Barbarian: The Colossal Edition. Available on the crowdfunding platformZoop, the campaign has added a new option to get a the book featuring a cover by Barry Windsor-Smith!
The Colossal Edition is the first of many planned, and is PUG’s version of the oversized Artist Edition that fans have grown to love. The book clocks in at over 190 pages of 11×17 scans of original Conan The Barbarian art from masters and legends, such as John Buscema, Gil Kane, Barry Windsor-Smith, Neal Adams, Howard Chaykin, and many others. The campaign nowoffers fans the choice between three different covers – one by Jim Lee, and the others by the aforementioned Buscema and Windsor-Smith.
PUG has partnered with licensor Heroic Signatures for the book and is offering the highest quality printing, with book design by Ian Chalgren. The scans are immaculate, the paper will be the finest quality, and the book itself will stand above the rest. This is a book not to be missed.
This book will only be going to press once, so fans who don’t want to miss out should go to Zoop as their exclusive point of sale for the book. Notably, retailers who have supported similar projects will continue to access wholesale prices through Zoop.
