Freed from the conventions of the superhero adventure, these creators brought their storytelling skills to a more quietly sinister genre, producing atmospheric gems of twisted suspense and sardonic horror.<\/p>\n<p>Not only do these nine issues feature Marvel\u2019s best creators working at their peak, but <strong>Tower of Shadows<\/strong> is one of the lost, never-collected Marvels. In the first of a new series of <strong>Lost Marvels, <\/strong>Fantagraphics and Marvel join forces to introduce these pages to a new generation of readers and restore this series to its rightful place in comics history. This gorgeous volume brings every <strong>Tower of Shadows<\/strong> story and cover to life in vivid color and features background and analysis by comics journalist <strong>Michael Dean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Full-color illustrations throughout<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOST MARVELS #1 contains some legendary artists and writers in stories that have seldom seen reprint.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s the lowdown&#8230; The<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[58,56,51,53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","category-comics","category-crime","category-horror"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38388"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38388\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38389,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38388\/revisions\/38389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
