The issue's cover star, the original android Human Torch, blazed his way into readers' hearts, and Namor the Sub-Mariner made a big splash.
In addition to the dazzling debuts of these two Golden Age heroes, pulp star Ka-Zar swung into comics, and costumed detective the Angel made his debut. There are also Western adventures with the Masked Raider and terror in the jungle. From this one issue, published 80 years ago, grew the entire Marvel Universe.
Now, Marvel Comics 1 is collected along with bonus artwork, insightful essays, a gallery of homages to its iconic cover, and much more!.
