Marvel Mystery #15 remains a fan favorite for showcasing Alex Schomburg's talent for encapsulating a story with one image. The striking cover has The Human Torch bursting through a pressurized underwater tunnel filled with Nazi soldiers who are holding Sub-Mariner captive — just as they realize that their goosesteps are cooked. It’s hard to imagine comic fans able to resist this amazing action.
As it turns out, however, the cover art was actually two issues ahead of the "great new adventure" that would pair the Sub-Mariner and Human Torch "side by side." (By the time that issue #17 was published, those Nazis had also been replaced by Japanese soldiers.) The issue still features Namor and Human Torch in separate stories setting up the action, while also offering the Golden Age versions of the Vision and Ka-Zar, plus the Angel. Of course, Schomburg covers are a vital genre unto themselves, with collectors paying impressive prices for these typically hard-to-find books.
