Trapped in a Masterworks he never made! There were several worthy candidates for the milestone 300th Masterworks edition, but only one waddled away with election victory: Howard the Duck! In Howard, Steve Gerber and his artistic cohorts Val Mayerik, Frank Brunner and Gene Colan delivered one of comics' most iconoclastic and hilarious characters. We kick things off in his inaugural Masterworks with his quirky first appearance as a fowl out of water alongside the macabre Man-Thing, where they team up to protect Cleveland from the Man-Frog and Hellcow. The satirical stories continue with Howard and gal pal Beverly Switzler taking on dire threats such as the Space Turnip, the Beaver and - public transportation??! And then: Howard runs for president! All restored in Masterworks glory! Collecting: Howard The Duck (1976) 1-14; Marvel Treasury Edition (1974) 12; material from Fear (1970) 19; Man-Thing (1974) 1; Giant-Size Man-Thing (1974) 4-5; FOOM (1973) 15

Hulk, Dr. Strange, Sub-Mariner, Valkyrie and Nighthawk join up with Luke Cage, Daredevil and Son of Satan to take on the likes of the Wrecking Crew, Satannish and Asmodeus. Then, spinning out of a storyline in Marvel Two-In-One, comes Steve Gerber! Deconstructing genre conventions and adding a healthy dose of absurdity, Gerber's innovative run turned the expectations of readers on their heads, so suitably we're including the original Atlas Era appearances of the Headmen-Gorilla Man, Jerold Morgan and Chondu the Mystic!

Many have lent their talents to THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN, but few - if any - have had a greater impact than the creative trio of David Michelinie, Bob Layton and John Romita Jr.! They remade IRON MAN with new co-stars - including Jim Rhodes, the future War Machine - and new armours, but more important than anything else, a new and character-defining take on the man inside the armour. Their Tony Stark is a hero not because of the extent of his technological wizardry, but because of his perseverance in the face of his own personal failings. This beautifully restored Marvel Masterworks edition presents the beginning of the reinvention of a Marvel icon, culminating in the classic 'Demon in a Bottle'! Iron Man (1968) 113-128; Marvel Premiere (1972) 44
