THE MONTH WAS AUGUST 1961, AND COMICS WOULD BE FOREVER CHANGED…

Fantastic Four #1 hit newsstands in August 1961, changing comic books forever. But the revolution launched by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby didn’t occur in a vacuum. Marvel released 16 other titles that month, making August 1961 a perfect snapshot of the dawning of the Marvel Age: Giant monsters stalked the earth in Strange Tales and Amazing Adventures; heroic cowboys brought justice to the wild West in Kid Colt, Outlaw and Gunsmoke Western; love broke hearts in Teen-Age Romances and Linda Carter, Student Nurse; and teenage hijinks made lighthearted fare like Millie the Model and Patsy Walker a laugh riot. Sixty years later, Marvel examines this seminal month in comics history with this oversized Omnibus edition.
