  Marvel Universe - Marvel Universe - A Wikia wiki
In 1982, Marvel published the mini-series Contest of Champions, in which all of the major heroes in existence at the time were gathered together to deal with one threat.
Unlike DC Comics, who uses the idea that interference with time by villains caused reality to reboot a few times, Marvel simply assumes that the stories happen in the space of years instead of decades; this is known as a floating timeline.
Marvel's major heroes (the ones who get involved in most of the important events) are the ones created from 1961 to 1963, during Marvel's "Silver Age": Spider-Man, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Daredevil, Thor, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s director, Nick Fury.

 The Comics Journal: ¡Journalista!
Currently showing at the Queens Museum of Art in New York is an exhibition of political cartoons by William Sharp, a German exile whose bold anti-Hitler cartoons eventually led him to emigrate to America in 1933.
Marvel Comics seems to have gotten to the "fool me twice" portion of their relationship with comics retailers, and for evidence of this we turn now to Newsarama, which recently sent a questionaire to a number of shopowners concerning Marvel's upcoming Rawhide Kid series.
Saturday I told you about the way Marvel Comics was using the numbers from initial orders in the Direct Sales Market to justify calling itself the top-selling comic book company, despite the fact that when you factored in re-orders the company has for several months dropped to the #2 slot behind DC Comics.

 Article about Funtime Comics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
His aim was to foster a sense of national comics identity The register and some of the work from Funtime has also been maintained on the World Wide Web, which has attracted the attention of similar alternative comics communities from around the world.
People contribute to the comic from throughout the country (as I did when I was based in Auckland), but the people who come to the meetings are the major contributors of serials and stand alone comics.
Funtime Comics experienced animosity with publication of Issue 10, when "Staff at the University of Canterbury printery took offence at the swearing that was part of Bob's Mr Blurt in the Year 2000 and complained to the registrar who directed the printery to decline to print any further issues" (Darren).

 Tales From the Database - Mile High Comics, Chuck Rozanski
While other comics publications have as their primary focus reporting on the latest comics controversy, or satisfying adolescent desires for news about which comics are "hot" at any given moment, COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE provides avid comics fans of all ages with news and information about a broad spectrum of comics, both past and present.
What each pricing team establishes is a subjective spectrum based upon not only the current available supply of any given comic book within in the marketplace, but also the level of effort a buyer is willing to expend in searching out back issue comics they are seeking for their collections.
Given the current continuing trend of declining print runs of many new comics, however, it is very clear to me that the extended future of the entire world of comics is in some measure of peril.

 Profiles 46 - Funny Animal Comics (Oct 2001)
We can, with a bit of observation, recognize the best-known flavor of anthropomorphic comics as the humorous variety, connected conceptually (and sometimes through shared properties) with the animated cartoons of the 1930s and 1940s such as Disney, Warner, and their peers created.
For a number of comics publishers, including, once upon a time, National Periodical Publications (DC), creating a solid product line and keeping talent in what management or accountants saw as their place represented a single set of business standards.
That funny animal comics also involved a massive talent cross-migration from the animation studios has, in some ways, helped preserve some of the names and credits that impermanent and unanthologized comic book material does not.
