About the series
Before there was Marvel, there was Motion Picture Funnies Weekly—a single, elusive 1939 comic from First Funnies, Inc. that was intended to promote movies but never made it to newsstands. Its sole issue is most famous for introducing the Sub-Mariner, drawn and written by Bill Everett, making it a foundational artifact of the Golden Age. Though it had no further issues, its significance endures as the planned launchpad for one of comics' earliest antiheroes.
