A blog about the history of Martin Goodman's Marvel comic book line from 1939 to about 1961.The content won't be 100% exclusive to comics, but will also touch upon the pulps, magazines, digests and even general esoteric comics history on occasion. A large part of the focus will be on the creators, especially the lesser known creators. If you are a creator, or family/descendant of a creator with a story to tell, please contact me.

After Marion was let go by Timely in January of 1950, he began to freelance all around the industry. Here is a sampling of his work in other company's titles. Marion does complete pencils and inks, with the result being the art is often light-years ahead of the Timely romance work seen in the last post. Away from the constricting 1949 Timely house style grid, I'll especially draw your attention to the Close-Up DARLING LOVE #5 and Fawcett ROMANTIC SECRETS #6 splashes. They are just beautifully composed romance splashes and the best of the bunch below. I'll include the covers to the books, which he did "not" draw.
