OMU: Fantastic Four - Year One. The publication of Fantastic Four. 1 kicked off what writer/editor Stan Lee would come to call the “Marvel Age of Comics,” and also introduced readers to the fictional world I have come to call the Original Marvel Universe.

OMU: Magneto - Part One. Many years before Marvel published Magneto: Testament. Years before I started this blog, in fact, I decided to fill in for myself some of the gaps in the personal history of Magneto. The X-Men’s arch-nemesis. As always, I restricted myself to what was revealed about Magneto’s history during the period of the Original Marvel Universe. He would almost certainly have been killed, despite Pak’s contention to the contrary. Almost none of the Sonderkommandos. January 1930 –. Eryk celeb...

http://originalmarveluniverse.blogspot.com/2008/03/omu-daredevil-year-one.html
OMU: Daredevil - Year One. The last superhero franchise of Marvel’s initial creative explosion was Daredevil. Billed as “The Man Without Fear,” who debuted in his own title early in 1964. The character was distinctive in that, along with the requisite superhuman powers, there was an additional gimmick: he was blind. Stan Lee recalls that he had some trepidation about how a handicapped hero would be received, and was relieved when the response from disabled children was enthusiastic. Jack Murdock is appro...

The follow-up to this was The Incredible Hulk. In which just about everyone made an appearance. Subscri...

OMU: Ant-Man - Year One. While Marvel introduced their new superhero Ant-Man. The same day that Spider-Man and Thor also burst on the scene, the character of Henry Pym had actually been introduced eight months earlier in a one-off sci-fi/monster story, the like of which was the company’s bread-and-butter at that time. Tales to Astonish. 27, with its lead feature “The Man in the Ant-Hill,” hit the stands the same day as Fantastic Four. It seems likely that Henry Pym would have soon faded into obscurity...
