Timely Comics
by Martin Goodman
Timely was the predecessor to Atlas which became Marvel Comics in the ’60s. Some of
their superheroes survived that transition (Captain America, the Sub-Mariner, and an
android Human Torch, among others). I’ve only begun to dig up their time travel,
finding one issue of All Winners Comics where Captain America and the All Winners
Squad do battle with a man from 1,000,000 A.D. Also, in 1948, the Timely superhuman,
comical boxer, Powerhouse Pepper, visited the pilgrims via time machine (Powerhouse
Pepper 4, Sep 1948).
Project yourselves far into the fture. . . to the year one
million A.D. The Earth is almost unfit for human life!

Comics 21, Winter 1946/1947.
