Marvel may indeed have the best comics, but the longest running?
No Marvel comic has been running before 1960, but DC has been
publishing comics continuously since 1939 or so.
Action, Adventure, Detective, etc. have been around for more than
forty years now!

P.S.:
   You can argue about the old Timely group (original Human Torch, etc)
being part of Marvel if you wish but none of your examples were from them.
