  Timely Publications est une maison d'édition créée en 1939 par Martin Goodman pour éditer des comics. Il renomme la société Timely Comics en 1941. L'activité de la société est transmise à Atlas Comics en 1951 puis à ce qui devient au début des années 1960 Marvel Comics.
  
  ## Histoire
  
  Martin Goodman, éditeur de Pulps depuis 1933, fonde Timely Publications en 1939 dans les locaux de sa société afin de profiter du succès de Superman. Il en est le directeur éditorial et le gestionnaire, Abraham Goodman en étant officiellement l'éditeur. L'entreprise est alors basée au McGraw-Hill Building au 330 West 42nd Street à New York. La première publication est Marvel Comics #1 (Octobre 1939) renommée dès le second numéro Marvel Mystery Comics.
  
  Au printemps 1941, Goodman crée une société nommée Timely Comics, Inc. qui publie ses premiers comics en date d'avril 1941. En 1942, la société déménage dans l'Empire State Building et ce jusqu'en 1951, année de sa cessation d'activité au profit d'Atlas Comics.
  
  La production de Timely Comics ne se contente pas que des super héros regroupés sous le thème Aventure et produit des comics avec des animaux, de l'humour et des scènes du quotidien comme les Terrytoons ou Mighty Mouse. Une partie de la production est sous la responsabilité de Vincent Fago, ancien des Fleischer Studios.
  
  À partir de novembre 1951, Martin Goodman stoppe l'utilisation du nom Timely Comics au profit d'Atlas Comics, utilisant le logo de sa société de distribution en kiosque l'Atlas News $Company^,.$
