The Masterworks Drop-eth
The Marvel Masterworks Sale runs through Monday, 1/20.
It appears we are having a Masterworks sale this extended holiday season. Would it be useful to have a list of the new Masterworks entering the annual sale since last year?
Here it is:
- Amazing Spider-Man Masterworks Vol. 25
- Amazing Spider-Man Masterworks Vol. 26
- Avengers Masterworks Vol. 24
- Captain America Masterworks Vol. 16
- Daredevil Masterworks Vol. 18

- Tomb Of Dracula Masterworks Vol. 3
- Tomb Of Dracula Masterworks Vol. 4
- Werewolf by Night Masterworks Vol. 2
What’s good among these new editions? Plenty, but a few things that caught our eye:
Daredevil Masterworks Vol. 18 – Denny O’Neil / Klaus Janson / William Johnson; After Frank Miller’s first run, Denny O’Neil stepped in for a run that’s largely been forgotten. It starts with a trip to Japan for some unfinished business with Bullseye.
Fantastic Four Masterworks Vol. 26 – Nearing the end of the John Byrne run
Man-Thing Masterworks Vol. 1 – Stever Gerber & Val Mayerik; The beginning of one of Gerber’s masterpieces: Man-Thing. As influential a book as anything in the early ’70s.
Marvel Team-Up Masterworks Vol. 7 – Just prior to teaming up on X-Men, Chris Claremont and John Byrne collaborated on what’s probably the best run of Marvel Team-Up. (Claremont wrote it a little more like a regular title than just the team-up of the week.)
The Marvel “Maybe” Sales
The trend continues. New releases at lower than expected price points and discounted pre-orders. Is this the new normal? We’re not sure, but let’s run them down.
