Download or read book Golden Age Marvel Comics Volume 1 written by and published by Marvel. This book was released on 2009-10-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2009, the influence of comic books is everywhere. It has enmeshed itself so completely into the fabric of popular culture - on television and the silver screen, in ubiquitous forms of merchandising, and even Pulitzer Prize winning literature - that it's virtually impossible to envision a world without the heroes of Marvel Comics. But 70 years ago, in 1939, the comic book was in its infancy. Born from the hearts and minds of a scrappy group of writers and artists, amazing adventurers leapt onto the four-color page for the first time in stories that no one then knew would launch a Golden Age. These larger-than-life heroes were a unique product of the American soul - a cast of utopian defenders and outcast heroes with startling powers that expressed the hopes and dreams of the immigrant nation. So great were their aims and their abilities that the term "hero" was too small to contain them. They were super heroes. For Timely Comics, the upstart comics concern started by pulp publisher Martin Goodman, it was a twin set of heroes that resonated with the buying public: the aquatic anti-hero, the Sub-Mariner, and the fiery emblem of action, the Human Torch. On August 31, 1939 they made their debut in the pages of Marvel Comics #1 - the very first Marvel comic - and seven decades later the world still reverberates from their impact
