Timely Comics Storytime

This is the beginning of a series of storytimes that will chronicle all of Timely Comics, Marvel's Golden Age (or at least the parts that are referenced in later comics).

We're starting with Marvel Comics #1, featuring the Human Torch, The Angel, the Sub-Mariner, and Ka-Zar.

I don't know why Torch looks like a monster.

It was later speculated by the Torch himself that Prof. Horton, being Jewish, deliberately included the flames as a reference to the Holocaust, and that Torch was intended to be a military weapon used against the Nazis.

God speed OP

With that being said, I now imagine Horton saying all of this shit about him being scared of the Torch with a huge grin on his face

And so far, Marvel's first superhero has a body count of one innocent civilian.

And so, Marvel's first hero ends his first story with a body count of:
>One civilian burned to death.
>One gangster crushed by a melting car.
>At least two gangsters boiled alive.
>And one gang leader killed by a nitrogen explosion.

And so the Angel has a body count of:
>One snapped neck.
>And one beaten to death.

I guess Sardo technically killed himself though

Then there's this cunt

So that's Namor's body count:
>One crew stabbed to death. (Unknown amount of crew members, let's say two).
>One diver stabbed.
>One diver's skull crushed.
>At least five crewmen drowned.
>One lighthouse keeper's skull crushed.
>One cop killed by hitting the water too hard.
>One cop beaten to death.
>One pilot thrown out of a plane.
>At least 13 in total.

And that's the end of Marvel Comics #1.
Somehow, the one hero defined by being a savage is the only one who hasn't killed anyone yet.

Neato. Good stuff
