An Original Vintage Comic Book (measures 7 1/4" x 10 1/4" [18 x 26 cm]) (Learn More) Venus is the name of two characters appearing in Marvel comics. The first is a character created in 1948 by Stan Lee and Ken Bald. She was originally based on the goddess Venus (Aphrodite) from Greek and Roman mythology (she was later changed to be a siren who only looked like the goddess). The first Venus appeared in a 1948 series of the same name, which started out as a light-hearted romantic series before adopting a darker fantasy/horror theme. The second Marvel incarnation is the true goddess who wishes to only be known by her Greek name Aphrodite. This character was created by Jeff Parker and Carlo Pagulayan in 2009. Important Added Info: Contents: Untitled story: The beautiful Venus the Goddess of Love comes to Earth, much to the surprise of Beauty Magazine publisher Whitney Hammond. Also include in the issue: another untitled Venus story; a two-page text piece called "Male Mixup"; "Hedy's Picture Problem!"; and "Hey, Look!" Script and art by Harvey Kurtzman.

There is deterioration down the spine and someone appears to have used a marker to touch up the dark areas, and there are also pieces of clear tape on the back of those areas.
