Item: Marvel Comics marks 70th anniversary /Bill Buley, Coeur d’Alene Press

More Info: First came the Human Torch, an android superhero melting his way through a wall on the cover of Marvel Comics in October 1939. Inside those pages, readers were introduced to Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner and Ka-Zar, guardian of the jungle. All for 10 cents, too. As the years rolled past, Marvel gave life to Ironman, the Hulk, Thor, Daredevil, X-Men, the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man and the Avengers, too. For decades, they’ve entertained brothers, sisters, moms and dads and yes, grandpas, too. And Marvel is still creating new adventures with its colorful, paneled pages as it marked its 70th anniversary Tuesday.
