I chose Marvel Comic books for my collection. I typically collect vintage comics from the 1990’s and earlier. Marvel Worldwide Inc., commonly referred to as Marvel Comics and formerly Marvel Publishing, Inc. and Marvel Comics Group, is an American publisher of comic books and related media.
Marvel started in 1939 as Timely Publications, and by the early 1950s had generally become known as Atlas Comics. Marvel's modern incarnation dates from 1961, the year that the company launched The Fantastic Four and other superhero titles created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and many others.
Some of Marvel's well known superhero characters include Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine, Thor, Hulk, Daredevil, Dr. Strange, and Ant-Man, teams such as the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the Inhumans and the X-Men, and antagonists such as Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, Ultron, Doctor Octopus, Thanos, Magneto and Loki. Most of Marvel's fictional characters operate in a single reality known as the Marvel Universe, with locations that mirror real-life cities. Characters such as Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, Daredevil and Dr. Strange are based in New York City, whereas the X-Men have historically been based in Salem Center, New York and Hulk's stories often have been set in the American Southwest.
