Description

The early 1940s was a frightening time for the average American citizen. After conquering most of Europe, the forces of Nazi Germany now threated to take Great Britain. Imperial Japan's control stretched over the Pacific Rim, with Japanese fighters sending most of Pearl Harbor's U.S. Navy ships to the sea bottom. With the specter of worldwide war looming on the horizon, people turned to an entertaining escape from the newspapers' horrifying realities: the comic book. Within these four-color pages, inspiring heroes could make short work of America's foes, giving readers of all ages hope for victory against the real-life enemies that faced the United States.

At the forefront of this new medium was Timely Comics, a young company staffed by such legendary talents as Jack Kirby, Joe Simon, Bill Everett and Stan Lee. These skilled writers and artists created a memorable lineup of wartime characters - including Captain America and Bucky, Namor the Sub-Mariner, and the Human Torch. Rather than super-villains, these super heroes battled adversaries ripped right from the news headlines: Hitler, Tojo, and Mussolini.

In this deluxe Marvel Masterworks edition, Marvel Comics proudly presents these original issues, painstakingly restored and collected in one volume for the very first time. Within these pages lie the seeds of what would later become the Marvel Universe of the 21st century. So sit back and enjoy the very first tales Marvel ever had to offer - the Golden Age of Marvel Comics!
