Huggins and Scott Auctions enthusiastically presents the Timely Comics Collection. In the beginning, publisher Martin Goodman founded Timely Comics in 1939. The super-hero craze boomed throughout the WWII era, and Timely was at the forefront with iconic heroes Captain America, Human Torch, Sub-Mariner, and Angel. Also on hand, were sidekicks Bucky and Toro, who enjoyed starring roles in the Young Allies title. After the war ended, Goodman re-branded Timely as Atlas, steering away from super-heroes, and into other genres. The line was re-branded again in 1961, and has since be known as the Marvel Comics Group.



Offered in our current auction, are dozens of comics dating from 1940-1955. For the most part, these important Gold Age comics are pre-code Timely publications graded by CGC. Others are from the Atlas period, a small percentage are from other publishers, and one book has been graded by CBCS. Many issues star the big three characters Human Torch, Sub-Mariner, or Captain America, in their own titles and others, such as Marvel Mystery Comics.
