"Young Men started as a romance-based title named Cowboy Romances for
issue 1, 2 and 3. It then became a war-based title named Young Men with
issue 4 (even adding the words on the Battlefield to its title for
several issues) until issue 24, when it became a revived super-hero
title. The changes reflected the changing moods of this particular eras
comic readers. With issue #24, Publisher Martin Goodman and writer Stan Lee tried to revive successful heroes from the Golden Age - Human Torch
& Toro, Captain America & Sub-Mariner. Although initially
greeted with enthusiasm, this mini revival was short lived. Within 12
months of Young Men #24, Torch & Caps own titles would be revived
(and canceled again) - followed soon after by the cancellation of
Sub-Mariner." Read it in all its manifestations here.
A diverse title,
Brian & Mel
