DC comics began before Marvel comics. DC comics started in 1934 while Marvel started in 1939. This makes DC comics five years older than Marvel.

Marvel Comics began as Timely Publications in 1939 founded by Martin Goodman. For a time it was known as Atlas Comics and then Marvel Comics.
Although DC introduced the super hero with Superman, Marvel was able to introduce realistic storytelling and iconic artwork. This was mainly developed in the early 1960s when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby revived some of the early heroes.
