Many of us can think back and remember all of the things that we really loved and enjoyed as children. Many of us can think back to the comic books that we once enjoyed as children. Many of us will even admit that we still enjoy looking at them. But, many people will never stop enjoying the comic books that they once enjoyed as children. The Marvel comics were started in 1939 and it is easy to see that they are still enjoyed. We all love reading the comics from our childhood. Maybe it helps us remember the easy times in our lives.

This company was actually called Timely Publications when it was first started. It was then purchase by Walt Disney in 2009.

The comic book company reached its cult status thanks to the love shown by the generation of readers to its characters. But those characters owe their existence to a bevy of talented writers and art directors who created spell binding stories with them. These stories were created by men like Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby.

The first comic hero presented by Marvel comics was the android superhero Human Torch. He struck it big for the company and they began to see success.Then Captain America came along. It also earned the company a circulation of almost a million.

Over the years many new characters were created with excellent storyline under the deft leadership of the editors. The advertising teams and other creative individuals that worked on these comic books all had a role in the success.

Take some time to think about just how successful many of these characters actually were and how they have continued to make their mark on society. That is why many of them were actually made into movies and you can watch them come to life in the movie theater.

Marvel comics is based in New York and they are still successful today as they have theme parks and video games about their characters. Their largest rival has always been DC comics. The major blow received by Marvel was in 1992 when seven of its prized artists left Marvel together to form the successful Image Comics. But, that happens to the best of us sometimes and it is to be expected.
