The Laughing Mask

Few characters capture the eerie romance of Golden Age pulp heroism quite like The Laughing Mask, a Marvel figure resurrected for the Modern Age in J. Michael Straczynski and Chris Weston's acclaimed The Twelve (2008) — a series that lovingly excavated a whole gallery of forgotten wartime champions. Sharing those atmospheric pages with the likes of Black Widow, Dynamic Man, and the haunting Claire Voyant, The Laughing Mask keeps genuinely extraordinary company. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare, collector-worthy find — the kind of obscure gem that makes The Twelve such a rewarding read for anyone who loves comics that honor their own history.
