Does that say "A MARVEL MAGAZINE" in the upper right corner? How much does this predate the the actual name change to Marvel?


Great observation and question! I'm interested in this answer myself.


This particular issue probably hit the stands Nov '46 and the publisher name change to Marvel was in '61 just prior to the launch of FF#1

I have this issue as well. The colors on this GA cover are vibrant considering the depiction is a dark, gloomy, eerie, night scene. The artist did a good job with the moon.

True, but unless I'm mistaken ...which is entirely possible... the indicia is required for compliance with postal regulations, not as a method of trademark or branding.

For several months the publisher ...assuming this was Martin Goodman's decision... tried establishing a Marvel Magazine or Marvel Group imprint on Timely comics. Captain America #61, 62 & 63 all sport a turned page emblem with the book's featured character in either the upper left or right-hand corner of the cover. This carries over to most if not all other lines of comics under Goodman.

Also, ...and I'm assuming this was entirely at Martin Goodman's request as well... the Marvel Comics imprint was employed briefly in the late 40's with a circle and wreath emblem before settling on the Atlas globe logo throughout most of the 50's.

And for a brief time in the early 60's ...before the establishment of the familiar rectangular emblem in the upper left-hand corner featuring SA characters above the Marvel Comics Group logo... there was a small square placed somewhere near the title with the letters "MC" in it. I'm assuming that meant Marvel Comics as well.

If there's more to this story or a better explanation, I'd appreciate those familiar with the details sharing.

Even as late as 1968, the Marvel title "Groovy" was published under the Atlas name.

BTW, here's Captain America # 61 (CGC, 8.0, OW) labeled as having a Syd Shores cover (although I'm not convinced that this is Shores' work)...

Finally, here is Captain America #62 (CGC, 9.2, OW/W) with a slight variation (Marvel Group instead of A Marvel Magazine) on the prior Cap logos. This cover is also attributed to Syd Shores, bears the initials SLS and has stylistic similarities to other Shores covers from this period...

And speaking of yellow covers, I finally broke down and added the first "Golden Age" book to my collection. I've always been a "Silver Age" collector, but decided I wanted to add a nice looking, affordable, war-time Batman book to the leger. This is the one that fit the bill just because it has such nice eye appeal and was the right price to take the best advantage of last week's 15% off ebay promotion.
