Cartoons that featured direct adaptations of Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, and Namor The Submariner! Rob and Will take you behind the scenes on how this unique series was created using Xerox photocopying machines, and the incredible music that eventually started a lawsuit with Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan! Plus we’ll look at the birth of Marvel Comics, how it all began back in the 1930’s with the Human Torch, Namor and Captain America! We’ll look at how the company nearly went bust and had to use DC Comics to keep going, before finally reaching incredible success in the Sixties!
