Marvel Men's W001765 The Avengers Iron Man Analog-Quartz Brown Watch
Description
The Marvel StoryMarvel has gone through several incarnations with variousnames, but started out as Timely Publications in 1939, founded by MartinGoodman. By the early 1950s the name changed to Atlas Comics. In 1961, withthe introduction of the famous Fantastic Four, Marvel Comics began using itsbest-known name.The first superhero was the Human Torch, and since everysuperhero needs a super villain, this niche was filled by Namor the Sub-Mariner (who later became an on-again, off-again hero). A resounding success,the first issue needed a second printing and together, they sold almost900,000 copies.Soon thereafter, writer Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby createdthe patriotic Captain America during World War II, a character still populartoday. Stanley Lieber, known more widely as Stan Lee (his pseudonym that heeventually adopted as his legal name) joined Timely and went on writing comicbooks for decades.By the 1960s, well-known heroes and antiheroes emerged,including the Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, and the X-Men. This is thetime Steve Ditko joined the brand, now known as Marvel Comics. Thesecharacters, with "real life" flaws and problems, revolutionized the comic bookworld because they were relatable to readers. By 1968, Marvel was selling 50million comic books per year.The late 1970s saw the long-running Star Warsseries, and the 1980s made money with Daredevil, but the real resurgence ofcomic books came in the early 1990s. Marvel began selling trading cards andusing more crossovers in the fictional Marvel Universe. But the 90s proved tobe a tough time for Marvel, with defecting artists and a Chapter 11 filing.The company was saved and renamed Marvel Enterprises.The new millennium gaveway to diversification, including the wildly successful film franchises, mostnotably the X-Men and Spider-Man series, with characters slightly updated toreflect current trends. Marvel also launched a digital archive of over 2,500back issues, viewed for a fee. Now Marvel is owned by The Walt Disney Companyand is still going strong. Superhero strong.
