2nd appearance of Human Torch (w/ origin) & Angel; Bill Everett art; ad for Silver Streak Comics #1


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!
________________________________________________

The classic cover art for Marvel Mystery #2 looks great on this VG+ copy, which remains in impressively sturdy condition after 85 years! The sunny yellows and reds easily dominate the scene to provide an eye appeal far above its designated grade of 4.5 — ranking this book right in the middle of the scarce 55 copies listed on the CGC Census!
