Alex Schomburg bondage cvrWith Harry Chesler studios providing art and stories for a content-hungry Timely Comics, the early issues of Mystic have a mannered, pulpish feel very unlike the house style that would later come to dominate the Timely lineup. Already in place were the over-the-top, manic covers by Alex Schomburg, here only slightly reined in, but still providing a wild, action-packed image replete with fierce villains, a stocky hero, and, of course, a bound-up lady in peril. As Timely had not yet hit on their unique take on the then-new superhero genre, these early issues were slower to catch on with readers, making them extremely rare and very attractive to Timely completists who are fascinated by the rich history of Timely/Marvel.
