The X-Men Omnibus Vol. 2 by Roy Thomas
The original X-Men - Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Iceman and Marvel Girl - star in uncanny adventures that brought the first era of mutant mayhem to a close! This Omnibus is filled with milestones - from the team's new costumes and the death of Professor X, to the first appearances of Havok, Polaris and Sunfire! But when Roy Thomas united with Neal Adams, they produced one of the most amazing evolutions in Marvel history! These two titanic talents brought the X-Men in sync with the thriving youth culture of the late '60s. Adams' lavish and dynamic visuals merged with Thomas' challenging and contemporary stories to create a comic book series that throbbed with the pulse of the times like no other! Collecting: X-Men (1963) 32-66; Avengers (1963) 66; Ka-Zar (1970) 2-3; Marvel Tales (1964) 30; Not Brand Echh (1967) 4, 8In a long career that encompassed work on feature films, plays, novels, animation, radio, and television, Arnold Drake wrote nearly 2,000 comics stories. Drake, who was born in 1924, debuted in the comics industry in 1950 with a ground-breaking project: the picture novel That Rhymes with Lust from St. He co-wrote John Publishing with Leslie Waller. This paperback comic book, a forerunner to the modern graphic novel, used pulp crime novels and film noir as a framework for what Drake envisioned as a new medium of genre cinema on paper. Drake's work for DC included THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY, THE HOUSE OF SECRETS, MYSTERY IN SPACE, CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN, and TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED, and he wrote for titles like THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY, THE HOUSE OF SECRETS, MYSTERY IN SPACE, CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN, and TALES OF THE UNE
Drake also created the Doom Patrol (in MY GREATEST ADVENTURE) and Deadman (in STRANGE ADVENTURES), two of the era's most creative characters. In the 1970s and early 1980s, he worked for Western Publishing's Gold Key comics line, and later in his career, he was heavily involved in the Veterans Bedside Network, a group of celebrities who use song and drama as therapy in America's V.A. hospitals.
