On This Day In History: The Birth of Marvel Comics


80 years ago today, on August 31, 1939, Marvel Comics #1 (cover date October 1939) hit the stands. The book featured stories written by Carl Burgos, Raymond Gill, Bill Everett, Arthur Pinajian, with art by Carl Burgos, Paul Gustavson, Bill Everett, Al Anders and Ben Thompson. Artist Frank Paul provided the cover art.
The rest, as they say, is history.
