1939 was one of comics’ greatest years. Arguably, the greatest single calendar year in the history of the American comic book industry as we know it today — or at least the most interesting, particularly when it comes to superhero comics.
It’s the year that the rest of the industry caught on in earnest to Superman’s rising success. It’s the year of the beginning of Marvel Comics — about which I’m sure we’ll hear much more from both inside and outside of the company, this year, 75 years later.
