American Update: Four Of A Kind! Marvel First Issues from 1968
*Marvel: 1968 was the year of Marvel’s big expansion, when the deal with DC for distribution came to an end and they were thus allowed to publish as many titles as they could manage. They started off by launching all the characters from their ‘split’ titles into their own series, such as Doctor Strange and Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD, and brand new titles such as Captain Marvel. Along the way, the one-shot Iron Man & Sub-Mariner was a by-product of this process. All four of these debut issues feature in this update in low to mid grades.
