SENIOR Executive Editor

1982: Mark Gruenwald was promoted to editor.

1987: He was promoted to executive editor.

1991: He was promoted to senior executive editor.

That year, Senior Executive Editor became Marvel Comics' second-highest editorial position.

I read Marvel Comics from the mid-'80s to the mid-'90s.

Company name history

Marvel was using the Marvel Comics name and logo as early as 1948, as can be seen in the Atlas Era Venus hardcover. They were even using a logo with a white feather in a red circle with a black border that said "A Marvel Comic" or "Marvel Comics." Statement of ownership panels reprinted on text pages in Golden Age repronts give the official company name as Martin Goodman Publications, Inc. Several 1940s indicia give the name of the company as U.S.A. Comics, including the anthology U.S.A. Comics, but also others. There were numerous company names in indicia during the 1960s including Vista, Zenith, Bard, Canam, Olympia, Official, and Perfect Film and Chemical before Magazine Management started appearing in 1969 and through the early 1970s. The idea that the company was first Timely then Atlas then Marvel is kind of an oft-repeated half-true factoid that shows that people haven't actually looked at older comics or reprints of them. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 02:05, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Source not clear

Cite #32 says:

Comics historian Greg Theakston has suggested that the decision to include monsters and initially to distance the new breed of superheroes from costumes was a conscious one, and born of necessity.

...

See Ro, pp. 87–88

What is "Ro"? Doesn't seem to be clarified anywhere. Can this be fixed?

Add important characters in the introduction

Add as famous and recognizable heroes in the introduction: Deadpool, Punisher, Ghost Rider and Namor the Sub-Mariner. Also, I feel that there are missing villains like: Red Skull, Venom and Apocalypse. Maybe the Eternals, the Inhuman Royal Family or the Midnight Sons can be added to into the groups. 191.107.170.170 (talk) 05:41, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
