1960s Comic Book Series

Comic series that began publishing between 1960 and 1969. Marvel built most of its line inside a few years of this decade, starting with Fantastic Four in 1961 and adding Spider-Man, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers, while DC continued the Silver Age revivals it had begun with the Flash in 1956. Comics were still sold mainly on newsstands and spinner racks. Browse every 1960s series in the catalog with its issue list, creator credits, covers, and release dates.

1960s FAQ

Why do so many Marvel titles start in the 1960s?
Marvel built its shared universe in this window, beginning with Fantastic Four in 1961 and adding Spider-Man, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers over the following three years.
What is the Silver Age?
The period beginning with DC's 1956 revival of the Flash in Showcase #4, when superheroes returned after the Code-era shift into other genres. Most 1960s series fall inside it.
Why do some 1960s runs start at a high issue number?
Publishers often kept the numbering of the book a title replaced rather than starting over. A series can debut its new direction at issue 39 because the anthology it took over had already run that long.
