Marvel Comics #1 was released during the very beginning of the Golden Age of Comic Books. Other prominent titles at the time included Action Comics (featuring Superman), Detective Comics (featuring Batman), and Captain America Comics #1 (published shortly after Marvel #1). The market was rapidly expanding with new superhero characters and genres.
