Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Marvel Comics This is the comic that introduced The Human Torch, Sub-Mariner, The Angel, Ka-Zar and other characters to the comics-reading world — but more important, it introduced a company that would eventually grow to be an industry giant. Marvel Comics may have been the name of the comic (for one issue, anyway — with #2, it became Marvel Mystery Comics), but it wasn't the name of the publisher. It is no exaggeration to say that without Stan Lee, Marvel Comics as we know it would not exist. www.toonopedia.com /marvel.htm   (911 words)

Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Marvel Comics This is the comic that introduced The Human Torch, Sub-Mariner, The Angel, Ka-Zar and other characters to the comics-reading world — but more important, it introduced a company that would eventually grow to be an industry giant. For some reason, many comic book historians refer to the company's entire 1940s output as Timely Comics, despite the fact that, as pointed out by comics historian Mike Benton, it used that name only for three months in 1942. They were back in the comics business a few years later, with a short-lived company called Atlas, but meanwhile, Marvel had made the transition from a family-owned business to a corporation. www.toonopedia.com /marvel.htm   (901 words)

A Guide To Marvel's Golden Age Characters: Table of Contents It may be hard to believe now, but once upon a time, back in the 1940s, Marvel Comics (then known as, among other things, Timely Comics), had a flourishing line of superhero comics. What I've included here is their name, their appearances in the Golden Age, their appearances in the Modern era, their origin and powers, and, where applicable, their modern continuity and status in current Marvel comics and continuity. Unlike DC, which has made a point of bringing back nearly its entire Golden Age roster (although how they've treated them once they've brought them back is another matter), Marvel has seemed content to forget about their Golden Age characters, or to write them out of continuity and pretend they never existed. www.geocities.com /ratmmjess/gaguide.html   (901 words)

Archangel (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the Golden Age character from Marvel's predecessor Timely Comics, see Angel (Golden Age).

La parabola della Timely Cover di marvel Comics N°6 con The Angel, eroe patriottico precursore di Captain America. E CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS 1 datato marzo 1941 fu un immediato best-seller arrivando a vendere addirittura un milione di copie a settimana: un successo goduto anche da Simon and Kirby che, grazie a una sottospecie di asta portata avanti per circa un anno, riuscirono a spillare a Goodman una percentuale sulle vendite. La sua prima storia fu contenuta in CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS 3, un albo memorabile che, in copertina, sfoggiava il primo Cap del grande Alex Schomburg e, all’interno, il ritorno di un personaggio poi diventato un’icona di pura malvagità a fumetti: il Teschio Rosso. www.comune.modena.it /glamazonia/articoli/timely/timely.htm   (911 words)

Timely Comics When Marvel was Golden This Angel was a rather goofy rip-off of the pulp character The Saint, a freelance detective who had a close relationship with the police. This is one of the more painful of the Golden Age strips to read, because the Angel’s stories are uniformly simple-minded but lack the charm and sincerity of strips like the Whizzer and Citizen V. Issue after issue, the Angel would fight sinister Nazi plots against the United States. The two volume reprint set The Golden Age of Marvel Comics is a good place to start. www.onceuponadime.com /hist/timely.htm   (640 words)

The Great Curve: ADD's Choice for The Very Best Free Comic Book Day Comic! Cover artist Darwyn Cooke then provides "The Day Big Star Retired," a witty response to the current hack-'n-slash corporate comics approach, with a punchline that could not be more true, or more timely. We also have two excellent Street Angel one-pagers here (here's one of 'em), many more new strips by other notable cartoonists, and a James Jean back cover that fully demonstrates why Jean has come to be one of the most highly regarded cover artists in comics. While Marvel and DC have settled into a predictable reprint rut on Free Comic Book Day, The Toronto Comic Art Festival has chosen to put their best possible foot forward, putting together one of the classiest anthology comics I've ever seen, and at a price that literally cannot be beat. www.thegreatcurve.net /2005/05/adds-choice-for-very-best-free-comic.html   (440 words)

The Timely Comics Web Page, Antebellum Part 2 As well, where Human Torch Comics started out in an anthology format, with features like "Microman" and the "Patriot," Sub-Mariner Comics featured only the Sub-Mariner and the Angel. But Batman had one, Captain Marvel had a couple (Captain Marvel, Jr., Mary Marvel, and the Lieutenants Marvel), Captain America had one, and the Human Torch had one, among many others. One can say that this was the practice at the time, which it was; one can say that the 1930s and 1940s were much less enlightened than the 1990s, which they were; and one can say that Kirby, Eisner, and Beck meant well, and tried to give Whitewash et al positive characteristics. www.geocities.com /Athens/Olympus/7160/Timely4.htm   (1968 words)

Cypher Encyclopedia While no other Timely character would be as successful as these "big three", some notable heroes — many continuing to appear in modern-day retcon appearances and flashbacks — include the Whizzer, Miss America, The Destroyer, the original Vision, and Paul Gustavson's The Angel.
