In August 1939 a new voice hit the newsstands and changed the
comic-book world forever: MARVEL COMICS #1, with its blazing Human
Torch cover, had arrived! And this 64-page pulp package wasn't your
typical assortment of super-powered, straight-laced,
do-gooders-this was something completely new. The amazing android
creation of Dr. Phineas Horton, the Human Torch was neither man nor
hero-he was a blazing force of nature that shocked and unsettled
mankind. Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, the
half-human/half-Atlantean, ventures from his undersea kingdom into
the world of man-not with a mind set on peace, but towards
vengeance! These two characters would form the foundation for the
style of conflicted hero that defines Marvel to this day, and
you'll see them evolve across twelve full issues from their raw
forms into the battling fire and water mega-hits of the Golden Age!
They're flanked by an eclectic set born out of the fast-paced
energy and imagination of the Golden Age including the heroic
Angel; the wild and incomparable robot invention, Electro; the
hard-edged detective, the Ferret; Terry Vance, the boy adventurer;
the Western Masked Raider; and the ongoing jungle adventures of
Ka-Zar, the Great. Featuring an extensive essay on Marvel's pulp
magazine pre-history, publisher Martin Goodman and the birth of
Marvel Comics by noted historian Will Murray, and topped off with
special bonus features including original artwork and items never
seen since 1939, this collection forms the cornerstone of Marvel
history essential for every comic book fan, collector and
historian! Collecting MARVEL COMICS #1 & MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS
