Alex Schomburg flag cover, last GA Vision


Another stunning and bombastic cover from arguably the greatest and most influential artist of the Golden Age, Alex Schomburg, this is simply another entry into the incredible run of memorable, chaotic wartime covers conceived by the ever-entertaining illustrator. It's a thrill to gander at the Human Torch and Toro taking the fight to the Axis powers alongside the Allied forces. The patriotic imagery and the tons of fun contained in this anthology is sure to bring a smile to even the most jaded of collectors.

The Human Torch, Namor and Angel stories in this book are all enjoyable donnybrooks, and it bears mentioning that this issue also contains the last appearance of the Golden Age iteration of the Vision, an interdimensional law officer who travels from the Smokeworld to mete out justice after being unintentionally summoned to Earth. The character would have to wait for a quarter of a century to be reinvented and inserted into Marvel's Silver Age hero team, the Avengers. This seemingly small footnote is one of the many elements that coalesce to make this comic a real under-the-radar classic.

Marvel Mystery #48 is a fairly rare book, with only 68 copies listed on the census. This 9.2 is one of the finest copies around with only three others ranked higher. Alex Schomburg’s captivating cover shines with a vibrant color palette that really makes this book hard to look away from. Schomburg’s attention to detail draws the eye to every little nuance in the corners and background of this beach invasion scene. This comic is extremely well preserved given its 82-year vintage, boasting a nice, sturdy construction and stable spine. This is an amazing relic that will doubtless see plenty of attention from Golden Age collectors come auction time.
