The Golden Age of Comic Books Podcast is back with a celebration of the 70th Anniversary of Marvel Comics! Marvel Comics (known as Timely Comics then) got its start with the publication of Marvel Comics #1 (October-November 1939) and quickly changed its name to Marvel Mystery Comics with issue #2.  This title introduced two of Marvel's most popular Golden Age heroes, The Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner.  Marvel went on the publish these characters in their own magazines, Human Torch Comics and Submariner Comics. One of Marvel's greatest heroes, Captain America (by Simon and Kirby) got his start in Captain America Comics (March 1941), and was of their most popular Golden Age magazines.  Marvel also published such titles as All-Winners Comics, Young Allies Comics, Daring Mystery Comics, USA Comics and others. As the superheroes lost popularity after World War II, Marvel ceased publications of these titles in 1949 and 1950 (except for a brief revival in 1954), and the world did not see their superheroes again until the 1960's.  During the interim, Marvel (under the Atlas name) published a number of horror and "weird" themed comic books. I hope you enjoy episode 61 of the Golden Age of Comic Books Podcast!

Namor made his first appearance in a giveaway title, Motion Picture Funnies Weekly in 1939. In the 5oth episode of the Golden Age of Comic books, we discuss the Golden Age Sub-Mariner first published by Timley (later Marvel) Comics in 1939. Namor made his first appearance in a giveaway title, Motion Picture Funnies Weekly in 1939. This title was never distributed to the public, and a few months later he had his "real" first appearance and origin in the pages of Marvel Comics #1 (May/June, 1939). The character continued as one of Timley's big three characters in the pages of Marvel Mystery Comics, Human Torch Comics, Sub-Mariner Comics and All-Winners Comics as a member of the All-Winners Squad. Subby's Golden Age run was interupted in 1949, and Atlas attempted a revival of Namor and other Marvel heroes in the pages of Young Men Comics in 1953. This was followed by attempts at reviving the character in Men's Adventures Comics, Human Torch Comics, Captain America Comics and his own title, Sub-Mariner Comics. This attempt to revive the character met with limited success, and he was retired again until he came back in the Silver Age of Comics in the pages of Fantastic Four #4.
