Marvel Comics #1 (1939)

You may have heard of Marvel Comics #1, a comic book that tells three thrilling stories that are sure to capture your attention. First, there's 'Now I'll Tell One!', a page of single-panel gag strips that are perfect for a quick laugh. Then, there's the story of 'The Human Torch', a creation of Professor Horton who can burst into flames upon exposure to oxygen. Though terrified of the Torch, Horton can't bring himself to destroy him, and instead seals the android in a concrete tomb until he can find a cure. When the Torch breaks free from the tomb, he becomes embroiled in a battle with Anthony Sardo, a notorious mobster who wants to exploit the Torch's powers for insurance fraud. In the end, the Torch gains control over his powers and sets out to fight crime and injustice.

Next up is 'The Angel', a story about a gang known as 'The Six Big Men' who take over the city's rackets and cause chaos and violence throughout. The authorities consider hiring a vigilante known as the Angel to put an end to their reign of terror, but before they do, the Angel takes matters into his own hands. With the help of a mysterious woman named Lil, the Angel sets out to eliminate the members of the gang one by one. But as he gets closer to his final target, he discovers that Lil and Doctor Lang, the final member of the gang, were actually working together to eliminate the others so they could keep all the money for themselves.

Finally, we come to 'The Sub-Mariner', a thrilling tale of a man named Namor who can breathe underwater and has incredible strength. When he encounters divers from a salvage ship, he mistakes them for robots and kills them before taking their bodies to his underwater home. There, he learns the truth about the surface dwellers and their destruction of his people's kingdom years ago. Now, Namor sets out to avenge his people and take down the surface world once and for all.
