Cream to Off-White pgs; Universal holder; Unrestored
classic Simon & Kirby bondage/torture cover; last Angel coverThe continuing adventures of the Angel, Sub-Mariner, and the Human Torch are the main attractions of Timely’s flagship title, Marvel Mystery Comics, and this is in fact the last cover appearance of the Angel on this book, as for some reason the character never really caught on. Publishers had to be savvy to keep their heads above water to survive in the cutthroat early days of comics, so Timely made the wise decision to shift focus to Torchy and Subby to appease their loyal fan base, and the change payed off big time. Marvel Mystery would become known as the stomping ground of Alex Schomburg before long, but this cover, illustrated by an instantly recognizable young Jack Kirby, who had yet to claim his title of “King” is a classic of the run, one which helped set the tone for the chaos that would ensue on this comic’s covers throughout the wartime era. Anthology fun is awaiting Golden Age fans in these pages, a popular entry in a very important series for the publisher that would one day become Marvel Comics.
