A long time earlier than the Unbelievable 4, the Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and the Avengers ushered within the Marvel age of comics, 1939’s Marvel Comics #1 featured the golden age adventures of the Human Torch, Angel, Namor the Sub-Mariner, the Masked Raider, and Ka-Zar the Nice. Regardless of its title, the 65-page publication was the primary superhero comedian from pulp journal writer Martin Goodman’s Well timed Comics — the predecessor of what would later grow to be Marvel Comics.
85 years later, Marvel is celebrating its milestone anniversary with a brand new collection of variant covers paying tribute to the unique Marvel Comics (retitled Marvel Thriller Comics with challenge #2). The homage covers — which recreate key problems with the Well timed-published Captain America Comics, All-Winners Comics, and Sub-Mariner Comics — will adorn upcoming problems with Unbelievable 4, Superb Spider-Man, Venom, Unbelievable Hulk, and the newly-relaunched X-Males.
The just-revealed Marvel eighty fifth Anniversary Homage Variant Covers (under) embody Unbelievable 4 #23 by Elizabeth Torque (Uncanny X-Males), Venom #36 by David Yardin (Daredevil: Girl With out Concern), and Unbelievable Hulk #16 by Jan Bazaldua (Winter Guard). Two extra covers to be revealed at a later date are from artists Paco Medina (Spider-Boy) and Joelle Jones (Mockingbird), and pays homage to 1941’s Captain America Comics #3 and 1946’s All-Winners Comics #19 — the debut look of Marvel’s first superhero staff, the All-Winners Squad.
In August, Marvel will publish the Marvel eighty fifth Anniversary Particular, a 72-page one-shot set within the far-off way forward for the Marvel Universe: the eighty fifth century.
That includes new tales written by Ryan North (Unbelievable 4), Alan Davis (Captain Britain), Christopher Priest (Black Panther), Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant), Sabir Pirzada (Spirits of Vengeance), Steve Skroce (Clobberin’ Time), and Yuji Kaku (Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku), with artwork by Stephen Byrne (Marvel’s Voices: Delight), Joshua Cassara (Avengers), Carlo Pagulayan (Star Wars), and extra, the anniversary particular goes on sale August twenty eighth.
