DESCRIPTION
A 15% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION
ow/white pages; Apparent moderate (P); color touch, pieces added, tear seals, cover cleaned, interior lightened, reinforced, staples replaced.
2nd appearance of Human Torch (w/ origin) & Angel; Bill Everett art; ad for Silver Streak Comics #1
Ruben Blades Copy
Marvel Mystery Comics #2 followed the smash success of Marvel Comics #1, but publisher Martin Goodman added "Mystery" to the title to lure in pulp fans. There's still a lot of superhero history made in these pages, including the original jungle lord Ka-Zar continuing his transition from pulp magazines to comic books. Bill Everett's lushly illustrated Sub-Mariner also appears in a classic story held over from the first issue.
And that's the original Angel on the cover, as rendered by comics pioneer Chuck Mazoujian. 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 legendary line work of Carl Burgos, Paul Gustavson, and Al Anders!
________________________________________________
This moderately restored copy of Marvel Mystery Comics #2 comes from the Ruben Blades Collection, featuring bright yellows and oranges that still offer a strong contrast to the blues of The Angel’s uniform. Early Timely Comics are always in high demand — and with only 54 copies on the CGC Census, this rare book is sure to be a high-value target for both investors and fans.
