Superheroes remain traditionally popular with teenagers. Comic books were onto this wave of popularity before television, movies, or the Internet about these superheroes. Comic book fans loved these paperbacks as more than just stories. I know. I was one of them. The comics delved into social, societal, relationships and political thresholds, reflecting the state of our times when released. Since first hitting the market, Marvel comic books have enjoyed a position at the top. And, Marvel continues to be the biggest publisher of comics even today.

Thier history goes as far back as October 1939 when they commissioned Lloyd Jacquet's company to publish the first comic book. The book was entitled Marvel Comics #1. Marvel sold more than 80,000 copies of its first issue. On seeing the success of its comics, especially the popularity of its first superhero Human Torch, Marvel introduced its second superhero-Captain America-in 1941.

World War II marked the end of the "Golden Age" of comic books. Marvel Comics responded to a precipitous decline in the popularity of superhero books, featuring characters such as Captain America, by introducing a new range of humorous books based around characters such as Super Rabbit.

However, the start of Vietnam War revived interest in our superheroes. So Marvel designed four new superheroes that teamed up as "The Fantastic Four" in the Marvel comic books. This was followed up with other characters such as X-Men, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Hulk, and the perhaps the sost popular of all, Spider-Man. Our characters are etched into the minds of generations of teenagers. Not too surplrisngly, there is a range of platform boots to choose from to make your childs outfit complete.
