[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] Um, no. It was the same company, they just didn't change their name to Marvel until later. They were originally known as Red Circle, then Timely, and went by Atlas for a while but eventually took their familiar name, adopted from the title of the comic that introduced the Sub-Mariner and original Human Torch, [i]Marvel Comics[/i] #1. (October 1939) AFAIK, the same was the case for DC, which named themselves after their popular [i]Detective Comics[/i]. I'm fairly sure that most of their major heroes were original crreations, with the notable exception of Captain Marvel, bought from the defunct Fawcett Comics in the aftermath of a civil suit levied by DC caliming that the character was too similar to Superman. [b]EDIT[/b]: I just dicovered that the Sub-Mariner *did* make a single pre-Marvel appearance in a failed promotional comic stip created by Funnies, Inc. called [i]Motion Picture Funnies Weekly[/i] early in 1939.
