THE FIRST 12 ISSUES OF MARVEL COMICS – RESTORED TO LOOK BETTER THAN EVER!

In September 1939 a new voice hit the newsstands and changed the comic-book world forever—Marvel Comics #1, with it’s 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 new.

The Human Torch, the amazing android creation of Dr. Phineas Horton, was neither man, nor hero, he was a blazing force of nature that shocked mankind. Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, the half-human/half-underwater dweller ventures into the world of man not with a mind towards 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!
