After the smash success of Marvel Comics #1, publisher Martin Goodman added "Mystery" to the title to lure in pulp fans — but there's still a lot of superhero history made in these pages! That includes jungle lord Ka-Zar making his own transition from pulp magazines into comic books. Bill Everett's lushly illustrated Sub-Mariner is here, as well, in a classic story held over from the first issue.
There's also the Angel featured as this issue's cover star. Mostly forgotten now, this Golden Age superhero was once successful enough to spend over a decade with his own solo spot in the book. This beloved collector's item also has work from the early stars of Golden Age illustration, featuring the richly deft line work of Carl Burgos, Paul Gustavson, and Al Anders!
