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!
