Anniversaries Comic Books Comic history

60 Years of Ant Man, Spider-Man, Thor, and Larry

Sixty years ago, on June 5, 1962, Marvel Comics introduced the
4th, 5th, and 6th super heroes of The Marvel Age of Comics.

 

Of all the creators associated with those three comic books only
Larry Lieber, the writer of the first Ant Man and Thor stories, remains.

Marvel is celebrating the 60th anniversary of all three (and others) in varying degrees this year.

Ant Man gets a special miniseries, while Thor gets a 750th issue anniversary special with Thor #24.

The shame is that neither the Ant Man nor Thor anniversaries get a contribution from Larry
(though he gets a mention in the Thor celebration).


 

Granted Larry is currently suing Marvel/Disney,
but still I think a pin-up page would not have been out of order.
