Marvel: The MCU celebrates 85 years of Marvel Comics in this superb tribute video

To celebrate 85 years of Marvel Comics, Marvel Studios wanted to pay tribute to the famous publishing house by publishing a huge compilation video of the best moments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

A happy birthday

Today, Marvel Comics is one of the most famous publishing houses across the Atlantic, and more widely throughout the world. It is difficult not to know Wolverine, Iron Man, Hulk, Spider-Man, Thorand the like. Especially in this period when the superhero movie is at its peak. Initially, Marvel Comics was created in 1939 under the name Timely Publications by the editor Martin Goodman. The first issue published by Timely was “Marvel Comics” n°1 in October 1939. A story that introduced characters that have become cult classics like the first Human Torch (not yet Johnny Storm) and Namor, the Sea Prince.

We then have to wait for the years 1960 so that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby take the reins of the House of Ideas, which they will rename Marvel Comics. A name change that will be marked by the Silver Age of Marvel Comics, with the advent of many iconic characters such as Spider-Man, Hulk and the Fantastic Four.
