Marvel: A History In Covers
For all those comic lovers out there, here's a thread dedicated to the history of Marvel Comics. For the purposes of this thread I'm ignoring the 1940s Golden Age era which introduced Captain America, the Sub-Mariner and the Human Torch but I'm starting with November 1961, date of the publication of the first 'modern-era' Marvel title, Fantastic Four 1.
I'll hopefully be posting the covers of every Marvel issue published on a month by month basis from that point, and it should be interesting seeing how the comic publishing landscape changed through time from the perspective of one of the major publishing companies.
So to kick us off, here's the 12 comics published by Marvel in November 1961. It's noticable how FF issue 1 is the only superhero title among a variety of western, fantasy and romance titles.
November 1961 releases
Amazing Adventures v1 006
Fantastic Four v1 001
Gunsmoke Western v1 067
Journey Into Mystery v1 074
Kid Colt Outlaw v1 101
Linda Carter, Student Nurse 002
Love Romances v1 096
Millie The Model Comics v1 105
Strange Tales v1 090
Tales Of Suspense v1 023
Tales To Astonish v1 025
Teen-Age Romance 084
