Artists

Val Mayerik

Val Mayerik's line belongs to Marvel's Bronze Age horror and swamp comics: heavy blacks, moody swamp textures and expressive, slightly grotesque figure work that fit the strange, satirical tone of the books he drew. He is best known as co-creator, with writer Steve Gerber, of Howard the Duck, and as one of the artists who shaped the look of Man-Thing in the early 1970s.

In omnibus form his work surfaces mainly through the Howard the Duck and Man-Thing collections, where his pages anchor Gerber's absurdist, socially barbed scripts. These volumes gather scattered 1970s runs that are otherwise hard to read in order, and Mayerik's art is central to the tone that made Howard the Duck a cult title rather than a straight funny-animal book.

Micronauts: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus Vol. 2

It gathers the deep-cut stretch of Bill Mantlo's cult run that Marvel kept out of print for decades, drawn by Pat Broderick, Gil Kane and Butch Guice.

For a collector, a Mayerik-era omnibus is worth it if you care about Marvel's weirder Bronze Age corner - the horror-satire hybrid that Gerber and Mayerik built. It is a curiosity buy more than a superhero showcase, but for readers chasing the roots of Howard the Duck and Man-Thing it collects the key material in a single durable hardcover.
