Alex Schomburg flag cover, last GA Vision
Marvel Mystery #48 joins the ranks of classic WWII-era comics with yet another bombastic cover from Alex Schomburg. who's still considered by many to be the greatest and most influential artist of the Golden Age. This stunningly patriotic cover has the Human Torch and Toro soaring over the American flag in support of soldiers making a dramatic beachside landing long before D-Day. Kids thrilled at the sight of the two heroes taking the fight to the Axis powers alongside the Allied forces. The patriotic imagery and the tons of fun contained in this anthology is sure to bring a smile to even the most jaded of collectors.
The anthology also features the Human Torch, the Sub-Mariner, and the Angel all facing Nazi spies, with "Horror of the Masked Fiend" remembered as a particularly macabre Torch tale. This title also offers the final appearance of the Golden Age iteration of the Vision, an interdimensional law officer who travels from the Smokeworld to mete out justice after being unintentionally summoned to Earth. The character takes on another Nazi operative here before being having the name retired for a quarter of a century before being returned to the Marvel Age with the Avengers.
