MENACE #11 - 1st Appearance of M-11 Human Robot - Rare 1954 Atlas Art

This is an extremely special piece for me as I am a huge Atlas Pre-Code Horror fan and also a fan of "Agents of Atlas", a modern comic that pitted some of the Atlas era heroes together in an eclectic super hero team. The team includes Jimmy Woo (Yellow Claw #1), Venus (Venus #1), Marvel Boy (Marvel Boy #1), Namora (Marvel Mystery Comics #82), Ken Hale Gorilla Man (Men's Adventures #26) and finally, M-11 the Human Robot (Menace #11).

This is one of only 5 pages of original art from the story and this one is the finale page featuring the famous "kill scene"! Atlas era horror art is so rare, almost too rare. There simply isn't enough around to even create a solid collector environment. I am so happy that this piece exists. To add icing on the cake, the story was drawn by John Romita in some of his earliest work.

This is my favorite piece of art, picked up in early 2014 in Jan.
