As WWII reached its peak, a huge segment of the entertainment industry catered to the insatiable public desire for patriotic distractions. Timely was busily creating a niche for themselves by launching one Nazi-bashing hero title after another. The Mystic series was dusted off and re-launched and featured some of the publisher's most popular heroes, including the Human Torch, the Angel and the Destroyer. The imprint capped off the rebirth with one of the most in-your-face anti-Axis covers of the era, and the popular Golden Age motif of bondage is in play as well.


There are only 50 copies of this comic listed on the CGC Census, with only four of those graded higher than this spiffy 8.5 example. The Syd Shores wartime cover, featuring The Angel, will surely appeal to the collectors who seek out such gems. Presenting a bright color palette and solid construction, this is another amazing Golden Age classic in an Event Auction virtually spilling over with amazing rare books. Truly a sleeper hit in the making.
