{"product_id":"the-atlas-comics-library-no-gene-colan-9798875002359","title":"The Atlas Comics Library No. 11: Spy Cases","description":"Shortly after launching his men's adventure line of comic books in 1949 (and just before he published his first war title), Atlas publisher Martin Goodman found, in the middle ground between crime and men's adventure, the sneakier, conspiratorial sub-genre of spy comics. The first title was?\u003cem\u003eSpy Cases\u003c\/em\u003e?(soon followed by?\u003cem\u003eSpy Fighters\u003c\/em\u003e?and?\u003cem\u003eKent Blake of the Secret Service\u003c\/em\u003e) and the contents were Cold War noir stories, as Doug Grant, Secret Agent, protected America's interests, fighting commies from behind the Iron Curtain. \u003cp\u003eLed by superlative action\/adventure artwork by Al Hartley (later Bill Savage) and supported by Atlas titans including Gene Colan, Bill Everett, Russ Heath, Jerry Robinson and Joe Maneely, America ferrets out sinister threats?in thrillers like: \"The Traitor!,\" \"Discs of Death,\" \"Frame-Up in Red,\" and \"The Case of the Missing B-29!\"?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll spy comics had healthy runs and by 1952, the Korean War made its?presence felt in every adventure title. Patriotic, but also subtler, darker and more sinister than the familiar costumed hero titles, the spy genre is a little-seen aspect of Marvel's deep history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gene Colan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798875002359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Gene Colan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47612102672639,"sku":"9798875002359","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d16c585-1ca4-4019-8162-be2efb629315.jpg?v=1764518203","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-atlas-comics-library-no-gene-colan-9798875002359","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
