In my last Blast From The Past, I confessed my undying love for the 1984 Marvel maxi-series Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars. Coincidentally, this year was the 25th anniversary of that groundbreaking company-wide crossover.

History of Marvel Comics
Let’s talk a bit about the humble beginnings of Marvel Comics, shall we, fellow Zombies? Originally, Timely Comics was started in 1939 by Founder Martin Goodman. It’s interesting to note that Timely’s first publication was Marvel Comics #1, and it featured the debuts of the Human Torch and Namor the Sub Mariner, heroes still prolific [...]
