Timely Comics

=Timely Comics= Timely Comics is the term by which comic historians called Martin Goodman's earliest efforts in the comic book business which would evolve into Atlas Comics, and later Marvel Comics.

During this era, called the Golden Age of comic books, "Timely" was the umbrella name for the comics division of pulp magazine publisher Martin Goodman, whose business strategy involved having a multitude of corporate entities all producing the same product. The company was founded in 1939 as Timely Publications, based at his existing pulp magazine publishing company, Red Circle, in the McGraw-Hill Building at 330 West 42nd Street in New York City. In 1942, it moved to the 14th floor of the Empire State Building, where it remained until 1951.
