MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE INHUMANS VOL. 1 HC
Written by Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway and Archie Goodwin, penciled by Kirby, Neal Adams, Mike Sekowsky and Gene Colan, cover by Neal Adams.
In 1965, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby gave a strange family of outcasts their debut in the pages of Fantastic Four. Responding to their Shakespearean pathos and Kirby's out of this world character designs, the fans loved them -- and wanted more! The mysterious origins of Black Bolt, Medusa, Gorgon, Triton, Karnak and the rest of their wondrous, secret world was initially revealed in a series of Thor features. But that only whetted reader's appetites -- and so came their first headlining series in Amazing Adventures! Launched by writer/artist Jack Kirby, the new series took the Inhumans to their roots, defending their kingdom against the aggressions of mankind -- especially against the ultimate threat of the Mandarin. Then a team with uncanny credentials, Roy Thomas and Neal Adams, took up the crown and sent the Inhumans on a mythical exodus into the world of man. It was a saga exploring the social issues of the era and, of course, topped of with a heavy dose of Inhuman action! Also featuring a rare Medusa and Black Bolt tale from Marvel Super-Heroes and a trio of satirical tales from Not Brand Echh by Stan, Jack and their blushing Bullpen! Collecting Thor #146-152, Amazing Adventures #1-10, The Avengers #95 & Marvel Super-Heroes #15 with bonus selections from Not Brand Ecch #6 & 12.

After laying the foundation for what would become comics' biggest franchise, Stan and Jack passed the headmaster's role of the Xavier School to Roy Thomas and Werner Roth, who would come into their own while crafting the tales of Marvel's merry mutants. Collected in this second Mastersworks volume, find the first appearance of the unstoppable Juggernaut, the cosmic Stranger, the mutant Mimic, and in a classic three-part saga, the mutant-hunting robot Sentinels.
