📖 Book Overview & Summary

In September 1939, a new voice hit the newsstands and changed the comic book world forever. Marvel Comics #1, featuring its blazing Human Torch cover, had arrived! This 64-page pulp package was not your typical assortment of super-powered, straight-laced do-gooders, as this was something completely new. The amazing android creation of Dr. Phineas Horton, the Human Torch, was neither man nor hero, operating instead as a blazing force of nature that shocked and unsettled mankind. Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, the half-human and 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 will see them evolve across twelve full issues from their raw forms into the battling fire and water mega-hits of the Golden Age. 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, 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.
