With this one folks you can't miss! In the course of this one issue emerge some of the most iconic characters ever to grace the pages of the realm of comics.

History in the making. Marvel history could go no deeper than this issue.

Marvel Comics: Vol. 1: Issue #1: The Start of Marvel's Mightiest Heroes 0
This comic is great, the action is great, with The Human Torch, Namor the Sub-Mariner, and The Angel really shining in that department, with Ka-Zar having a good emotional story, and the art, while primitive, is really good for it's time, especially Namor, which looks really good even now....
