The late artist was born 109 years ago, on May 18, 1917…
Late comics stalwart Bill Everett is best known for creating the Sub-Mariner and being the first artist on Daredevil. But he was also one of the pre-eminent horror artists for the 1950s version of Marvel Comics.
So dig these 13 COVERS from the title Astonishing, which began as a showcase for the short-lived superhero Marvel Boy before heading headlong into terror.
These date from 1950 to 1956.
Swell!

There was a 3 volume Marvel Masterworks of the 50s Atlas Heros. All the Marvel Boys, plus the %0s stories of Captain America, Sub-Mariner and Human Torch.

I love Everett’s work so much. I wish he could have contributed more to 60’s Marvel comics.
