bondage cvr; Angel, Human Torch, Destroyer begin
Highest GradedAs 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.
Timely fanatics will exult at the sight of this incredibly well-preserved copy, the highest on the CGC census. The scarcity of this key issue makes it among the most sought after of the run, we expect both war era collectors and condition sticklers will duke it out over this dazzling book, one of the best looking Timelys we've seen in a while.
Overstreet Guide 2013 NM- (9.2) value = $4,300.
