Today we associate Marvel almost exclusively with Super Heroes and Super Villains, but there was a time when Marvel Comics came in a wide range of genres: comedy, romance, western, sci-fi, horror, and more. In this premiere episode, Lorraine Cink and Evan Narcisse take a deep look into the way heroes like Captain America helped forge a new medium--until they were run out of their own comics by deep societal changes that eventually triggered the return of heroes, an eruption of talent... and the birth of the Marvel Age!
