	Timely Comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Timely Comics is the 1940s comic book publishing company that would evolve into Marvel Comics.
		Timely was originally located in the McGraw-Hill Building on West 42nd Street in New York City, and later moved to the 14th floor of the Empire State Building.
		Timely's other major competitors were Fawcett Publications (Captain Marvel, introduced Feb. 1940), All-American Comics (Green Lantern, July 1940; The Atom, Oct. 1940); Quality Comics (Plastic Man, Blackhawk, both Aug. 1941); and Lev Gleason Publications (Daredevil, Sept. 1940; unrelated to the 1960s Marvel hero).

	Marvel Comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marvel Comics was founded by established pulp magazine publisher Martin Goodman in 1939 as an eventual group of subsidiary companies under the umbrella name Timely Comics.
		The "voice" of Stan Lee is what one senses in so many of the Marvel Comics of the first half of the 1960s: his sense of humor and generally lighthearted manner, and the depiction of the Bullpen (Lee's name for the staff) as one big, happy family.
		By the time Jim Shooter took the post in 1978, the position of editor-in-chief was clearly defined.

	Timely Comics
		Originally known as Red Circle Comics, the company which would become better known as Timely Comics (and latterly as Marvel Comics) was founded by Martin Goodman in 1939, and debuted with the launch of Marvel Comics #1.
		This (for the time) radical concept placed Timely firmly on the map, and saw sales soar, though the company was still small fish compared to the industries' biggies, DC, Fawcett and Quality.
		Timely had added a "patriotic shield" to the covers of many of their titles during the war, but this practice died away as time passed.

	The Timely Comics Web Page, Prologue
		Timely Publications was not as important, during the Golden Age, as All-American/National (the two companies that eventually became DC Comics), Fawcett, or (arguably) Quality, but they were the source from which Marvel Comics sprang, and so Timely has a place of historical importance.
		And, finally, because comics scholarship is still a very young field, and good, accurate, reliable reference works are few and far between - and those tend not to concentrate on Timely.
		Generally speaking (and this is by no means a hard-and-fast rule) the lag time, in the Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s, between creating a comic book, and it reaching the newstand, was approximately 3-4 months, and the comics themselves generally appeared on the newstands around two months before the cover date.

	Timely Comics Big Three: Cap, Namor Torch
		Timely, which would in the 1960s become known as Marvel Comics, was a second-tier publisher during World War II.
		Their line consisted of a number of second-rate characters, as mentioned in my earlier article “Timely Seconds”; only the big three characters really captured the imagination of the comics fans of the era.
		The big three Timely characters were unique and exciting creations, graced with art that was generally better than what was normal in the era, and full of vibrant action.

	Revolving Door of Death 01 - The Human Torch (Jan 1998)
		One reason may be because, unlike DC Comics, Marvel did not buy out (or sue and forclose on) entire lines of comics characters, such as the acquired properties of Fawcett, Quality, Charlton, and legions of others they absorbed.
		Timely had become Atlas comics in the 1950s, and by the end of the fifties had drifted out of the superhero game, more or less, even as DC's current incarnation was busy having a mini-revival of previously-extinct Golden Age characters, mostly in new incarnations.
		If we believe the legends of the history of Marvel comics, there was a point at which a desperate Stan Lee sat in Marvel's offices, watching the furniture being taken out for non-payment, devoid of distributors and hope, weeping on a desk, when Golden Age comics veteran Jack Kirby walked in and saved everything.

	Vince Fago, pg. 2
		Milt Stein becomes the Timely funny-animal powerhouse and his vibrantly chaotic rendering fills almost all of the new titles that expand the lin-up: All Surprise (Fall '43); Funny Tunes (Summer '44); and Comic Capers, Ideal Comics, Ziggy Pig & Silly Seal, and Super Rabbit (all Fall '44).
		Milt Stein's art style becomes Timely's funny-animal "house" style from 1944-46 and it becomes increasingly difficult to discern who drew many of the features as the decade progresses as much of the art homogenizes into a "Stein-esque" rendering.
		While the exact date of Stan Lee's return to Timely's helm is unknown, Vince may have gone back to freelancing for a while before leaving for good by the end of 1945 or early 1946.

	The History of Marvel Comics
		Timely Comics was a publisher of many pulp magazines until the publisher himself, Martin Goodman, in 1939, put out the book that would make and begin Marvel Comics history for decades to come.
		Soon, World War II was underway so a lot of attention was focused on the events in Europe and, because most of the Timely staff was Jewish and the idea sold well, Timely's anti-Hitler view was reflected in its comics with their superheroes (the Sub-Mariner, and the Human Torch) fighting Nazis.
		In the late 1940s, early 1950s, Timely no longer existed, but Goodman and his staff were still working away making comics under different genres, such as adventure, crime, etc. This phase, from 1947 to the early 1960s, has been greatly ignored by people as a part of Marvel History.

	Timely Comics When Marvel was Golden
		They were called Timely Comics, and by and large, their line was very forgettable.
		Unlike DC and Fawcett, who ruled the roost in that era, none of Timely’s second tier characters captured the public’s imagination at all.
		Sure the comic has a goofy premise – a plane crashes into a mysterious city in the clouds, inhabited by a race of humans evolved from birds.

		The comic did very well, we did at least ten years of that comic.” Toward the latter part of the ten year run, Andru became tired with the series and left for Marvel comics.
		At the time, Sol Brodsky was an assistant to Stan Lee, the head of Marvel Comics.
		Like a time when my daughter was reading a comic book of Spider-man. And I walked in from my studio to her bedroom and I see her reading a Spider-man by Ditko.

		He left comics in 1968 when he and a group of fellow creators were dismissed by DC Comics after asking for basic health benefits.
		A prolonged stay in a children's hospital in 1965 reintroduced him to the medium, and he noticed that while comics produced by Marvel Comics were popular with the other children, those made by DC Comics were not.
		When Carmine Infantino became editorial director of DC Comics in 1968, Plastino, along with many other long-time DC artists, was phased out of the company's future plans in favor of the new style of illustration which Neal Adams had brought into the industry.

		In the mid to late 1970s, one of the most common topics of conversation when comics pros got together was the demise of the comics industry and what they would do after the comics industry collapsed.

	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.
		In fact, there wasn't any one name the publisher was known by for any great length of time until the 1950s, when, for several consecutive years, it used "Atlas" as an imprint.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Timely Comics and Atlas Comics
		"Timely Comics" is one of many, many publishing aliases used by pulp and comics magnate Martin Goodman, whose enterprise is …
		Many writers about comic books apply the name to everything published by that outfit during the 1940s, despite the fact that it was no more prominent than any other "company name" Goodman used back then.
		Apparently, back in the 1960s, when comic book historical research was in its infancy, a fan got hold of a Goodman-published comic book that happened to have come out during the single quarter of 1942 in which the name "Timely Comics" was used.

		Sub-Mariner was the first true icon of Timely Comics, and during the 1960s, Marvel Comics resurrected him and he has flourished in the Marvel Universe ever since.
		It was at this time that DC Comics was publishing such comics as the Justice League of America and Atlas responded by creating its own superhero team, the Fantastic Four, created by legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
		Stan Lee is generally considered the "founder" of Marvel Comics as he continued to create many of Marvel's most popular heroes, such as Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk, and the X-Men.

		Comedy Comics #9 (Apr. '42) continued the numbering of the aforementioned Daring Mystery and is actually a dual-genre book.
		We had passed the books around between the three of us, each giving our own analytical opinions on the possible artists, with the final tentative identifications synthesized by Jim V. Their last stop was with me in NY.
		Vince showed me around, his wife showed me her studio in an attached addition to the house and we retired to his porch to begin the task of poring over work Vince had either supervised or drawn almost 60 years before.
