Death's face -- or, at least, one of several that she can present -- was first revealed by her lover Thanos in Captain Marvel 31.
As one of Death's mouth-pieces pointed out to him, with the power of the Gems he was not her equal but her superior, and as such it would be improper for her to address him.
Hard to believe that Death would let herself be taken unawares, that Thanos wouldn't come dashing to her rescue, that the other Cosmic Entities wouldn't show up and pound on those upstart Elders for her, and that the Avengers would go to such fatal lengths on the word of their arch-enemy the Collector.

Marvel Comics was founded in the 1930s under a constantly changing set of names, the most cited being Timely Comics.
In 1988, Marvel was bought by investor/entrepreneur Ronald Perelman, who made Marvel a public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange and oversaw a great increase in the number of titles published by the company.
Marvel earned a great deal of money early in the 1990s due to the comic book boom going on at the time, but by the middle of the decade the industry had slumped and Marvel filed for bankruptcy, amidst accusations that Perelman had strip-mined the company for his own gain.

 Marvel Comics in the 1980s - The Death of Captain Marvel 1982
The Death of Captain Marvel was Marvel Comics first graphic novel and its success would be followed by an entire series of graphic novels.Every once and a while, you come across a comic that you can proudly endorse as the reason you still read comic books.

 The Comics Journal: Essays
She was honest in a way; on an occasion or two when I would needle her about a particularly awful comic she was boosting, she'd usually admit its awfulness in what was meant to be a sotto voce, but ultimately justify it on the principle of supply-and-demand, the last refuge of the hustler.
After several puzzling conversations regarding what constitutes a distasteful comic book vs. a "clean" (whatever clean means) comic book, she gave us a tip which we repeat to ourselves time and time again, in order to maintain sanity.
Marvel's only goal, with which honorable men and women in this profession have nothing in common, is to generate as much profit for Ronald Perelman as they can, and to shovel as much shit down the public's gullet as they can get away with.

 The Comics Journal: Newswatch
Marvel did not seek publicity for its arrangement with Cockrum, but word got out and was reported in the comics press as a heart-warming rescue of the artist by his former publisher.
Marvel's agreement with Cockrum is contingent upon Cockrum's nondisclosure of the terms of that agreement, and neither Adams nor Meth is willing to say anything that would endanger the deal.
During the period when Cockrum was drawing for Marvel, the company had nothing closer to a written freelancer contract than a statement on the backs of canceled checks to creators, and as was revealed in the course of Marv Wolfman's Blade lawsuit, canceled checks from that period seem to be missing from Marvel's files.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Elektra
Marvel Comics' Elektra was a late example of the former and an early example of the latter.
Elektra was first seen in Marvel's Daredevil #168 (January, 1981), as one of an endless series of monthly menaces, but with a twist — this particular hired assassin was an old girlfriend of his, and he was as surprised as the readers to see her doing that sort of work.
But of course, death in the Marvel Universe isn't always permanent, and in Elektra's case it was so temporary it seems she was killed just so she could be dramatically brought back.

 Metroactive Books | Marvel Comics
The doubling in the cost of paper over the last two years and Marvel's attempts to control the distribution system for comic books were more important factors in the company's woes.
Marvel's editorial board stripped the old characters of their styles and flooded the market with too many copies of the big-name characters--most notoriously in that tangled web of various Spiderman clones, unraveled by the cheapest and most desperate explanation known to Western literature: "It was all just a dream."
THE NIGHTMARE of Marvel's bankruptcy may not be born from that dream, but it ought to be a warning to comic-book writers about the lack of quality storytelling in modern comics.
