August 31st is a very special day for Marvel fans worldwide, as the House of Ideas officially celebrates 80 years of existence and bringing to life many of the world's greatest superheroes! Beginning life as "Timely Publications/ Timely Comics" in 1939 - heroes such as Jim Hammond/ The Original Human Torch and the Star Spangled Avenger Captain America would lead the charge, and then inspire the creation of the Golden Age heroes of the 1960's such as Iron Man, Hulk, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and of course The Amazing Spider-Man.
As we honor the memories of legendary creators such as Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, and Jack Kirby, we also celebrate their creations and the many people who have contributed and influenced the comic book industry and genre through Marvel Comics and beyond. In fact, I recently celebrated with fellow fans, collectors, and cosplayers this week at the "Marvel 80 Years At SM" exhibit launch - welcoming a collection and showcase of the legacy and impact the brand has brought on for eight decades!

From the release of this week's milestone celebration comic in Marvel Comics #1000, the growing popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the expanding reach of the heroes and villains in various media and merchandise, Marvel has left its mark and imprint everywhere... And will continue to do so in the years to come! Make Mine Marvel and Excelsior - Happy Birthday Marvel!
