Marvel's Greatest Battles?! There are so many different ways that phrase could be explained by fans and non-fans alike... One early explanation would be when Marvel Comics took on National DC Comics when it proclaimed the 1st Issue of the Fantastic Four as 'The World's Greatest Comic Magazine!' way back in 1961! Another would be when Marvel Comics expanded its' newstand distribution in 1968, when it had its' titles, Strange Tales, Tales of Suspense, and Tales To Astonish split into two separate titles, with each of the main superheroes heading their own title. Some of those superheroes like the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America went on for years... Others like Dr Strange and the Sub-Mariner have had their ups and downs in being published! For later readers and / or investors, the battles within Marvel itself caused the implosion of the company, which found itself battling to get out of bankruptcy. The newest battles are the successes finally of Marvel Superheroes on the Big Screen! Earlier the Captain America, the Punisher, the 1st Fantastic Four movie by Corman, etc., just were outclassed by the Superman and Batman movies by DC's efforts... What brought this blog post about was my going through my personal collection of Marvel items and running across the book 'Marvel's Greatest Battles', which of course would feature the Incredible Hulk versus the Thing for one! My love for this comic book industry's history is a large one, encompassing my earliest day's of reading Chilly Willy, Disney Comics, etc., but some like Fantastic Four #12 & #25 where the Hulk and the Thing tangled with each other will never be equaled in my humble opinion.

 Were those really 'Marvel's Greatest Battles'??? I suppose it depends on when you first started reading Marvel Comics! It is widely thought that a comic book reader's own personal 'Golden Age' is at 13 years of age... which would put me around 1965, when Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Don Heck, Larry Lieber and many others were laying the Foundation for what Marvel Comics has become to be know for!
