Never a company to miss a trend, Atlas began introducing more science fiction elements in the 1950s, and eventually turned Venus' dating adventures into a straight-out horror anthology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCollected here, 70 years later and for the first time ever, is that swift-changing second half of the 19-issue run. Future Marvel stars Bill Everett (seven issues) and Werner Roth (three issues) take \u003cem\u003eVenus\u003c\/em\u003e to heights of four-colour weirdness and pre-Code horror ghastliness. Everett in particular is given free rein and seizes the opportunity: writing, drawing, and lettering twenty ghoulish and goofy masterpieces, including classics like \"Hangman's House,\" \"The Day Venus Vanished,\" \"The House of Terror,\" \"The Sealed Spectors,\" \"Tidal Wave of Terror,\" and the phantasmagorical \"Cartoonist's Calamity!\" These stories showcase the brilliant draftsmanship and storytelling of Everett, one of the giants of the 1940s and '50s comic book industry. His slick, fluid line rendered at Timely\/Atlas, from his seminal god-child Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, to the atomic age Marvel Boy, is some of the finest pre-Code horror this side of E.C.'s Graham Ingels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeries editor Dr. Michael J.
