In 1939, MARVEL COMICS (soon renamed MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS) launched a storytelling revolution that lasted eight decades and ultimately birthed the modern Marvel Universe!

The title's first year was a mix of pulp adventure seeded with the first sparks of the colorful heroes to come - but in its second year, MARVEL MYSTERY followed the path of the fiery Human Torch and the aquatic Sub-Mariner with super heroes galore! Those twin trailblazers were soon joined by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby's Vision, the all-American Patriot and the joyously wild robot Electro. Backed up by boy sleuth Terry Vance, the pre-comics jungle king Ka-Zar and the noir adventurer the Angel, each issue delivered 64 pages of nonstop 1940s action!

Now, relive the glories of the Golden Age in this painstakingly restored, oversized Omnibus edition!

Includes Stories by Carl Burgos, Bill Everett, Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, Paul Gustavson, Ray Gill, Bob Oksner, Ben Thompson, and more!

Hot on the heels of the explosion of star-spangled super heroes, U.S.A. COMICS presented a wild and wooly selection of patriotic characters fighting for the Red, White and Blue.

From the Victory Boys and the American Avenger to wilder heroes like Roko the Amazing, the Blue Blaze and the Fighting Hobo, U.S.A. was a comics magazine bursting at the seams with crazy concepts. But with the Second World War raging, it became clear there was only one hero who could headline a book titled U.S.A.: Captain America! Backed up by the Destroyer, Marvel Boy and the Whizzer - as well as the adventures of regular joes like Sergeant Dix and Jeep Jones, and true tales of WWII - U.S.A. COMICS was the perfect dose of four-color excitement for the American G.I.!

Sporting some of the most famous covers of comics' Golden Age, the early Captain America issues of U.S.A. are some of the rarest Marvel comics of all time, and they're collected here for the first time ever!
