Marvel’s first-ever limited-edition digital comics drop on August 19th, 20th, and 21st at 8 a.m. PT, only on the VeVe iOS and Android app.
The first offering in VeVe’s digital comic range kicks off with a bang, offering Marvel’s earliest (and in some cases, most rare) comic books! Starting with the original, the OG, the foundation on which all other Marvel comics followed — Marvel Comics #1. This is followed by Journey Into Mystery #85, which is the first appearance of Loki. And to round out this week’s comic drops is another must-have classic for any comic lover — Fantastic Four #1!
Marvel Comics #1
The FIRST Marvel comic ever — the one that started it all in 1939! The Marvel Universe’s big bang is in these pages and it kicks off with an explosion as the android Human Torch, in his first appearance, collides with Namor the Sub-Mariner (also his first appearance). This is the first comic book ever published by Marvel, then known as Timely Comics.

But will they learn how to control their newfound powers enough to stop the fury of the Mole Man? The ripple effects of this single issue continue to influence comic books to this day.
