Alex Schomburg German WWII Human Torch cover (1/42)


Marvel Mystery Comics ##27 continues Alex Schomburg's run of classic WWII covers, with lots of carefully detailed action as the Human Torch flies in to save his sidekick Toro from sadistic Nazis. The interior story from writer/artist Carl Burgos is just as thrilling, although the Torch and Toro are really in the States while taking on the flaming arrows of a Nazi spy called the Saint. Namor is staying busy with a tax-dodging furrier, but there's also the notorious "A Business Meeting in Hell" with the Golden Age's Vision taking on Satan and his demons as they try to corrupt a small town. This is also the final appearance of the original Ka-Zar, whose transition from pulps to comics ends with him battling a Nazi U-boat in "Fighting for the Free French."

Only three copies of Marvel Mystery #27 graded higher in the CGC Census! The classic Alex Schomburg illustration looks fabulous; the color strike is exceptional, featuring blazing reds and a variety of purples, blues, greens, and other vivid tones that really accentuate the action presented on this cover. The Human Torch is shown coming to the rescue of his sidekick, Toro, who is staked to the ground as Nazis close in from all sides. This is a classic Schomburg cover (aren’t they all?) which is sure to get his fanbase salivating, as this comic is extremely hard to find, with only 51 copies listed on the CGC boards.
