Schooled in Golden Age comics, Steranko (born under the sign of Scorpio) merged pulp heroism with modern, cinematic graphic design in a way that transformed the look of Marvel''s Captain America, X-Men, Daredevil, and Nick Fury, Agent of S. H. I. E. L. D. His late-1960s run on S. H. I. E. L. D. was the essence of cool, distilling the era''s spy boom into a new level of sophisticated comic-book storytelling. It''s all here: all the stories (including his sole foray into the romance genre), all the cover art (including Fantastic Four, Supernatural Thrillers, Incredible Hulk Special, Shanna the She-Devil, and his variant covers for Black Panther, Civil War II, and Avengers Standoff), even his illustrations for the Marvelmania and FOOM fanzines. Every thrilling moment of the unique aesthetic marriage between Steranko and Marvel has been assembled in one place for the first time, in a gorgeously designed two-volume hardcover slipcase set.
