Which came first DC or Marvel?

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.

The original publication by DC was National Allied Periodicals founded in 1934 by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson. Detective Comics Inc. was formed when National Allied Periodicals merged with Independent News.

Eventually Detective Comics, Inc became DC Comics. DC were the first regular publication to feature superheroes as the protagonist beginning with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

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.
