However, it's important to note that Marvel Comics wasn't always called "Marvel." The company started as "Timely Comics" in 1939 and later changed to "Marvel Comics" in 1961.
Marvel Comics #1 featured a mix of stories, including:
* The Human Torch, who would become one of Marvel's most famous characters.
* The Sub-Mariner, another iconic Marvel hero.
* The Angel, who would later become a member of the X-Men.
* Ka-Zar, an adventurer who lives in the Savage Land.
This issue was a significant step in the development of the modern superhero comic book and played a major role in shaping the comic book industry.
