Marvel Masterworks: Golden Age Marvel Comics #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis handsome 2012 hardcover collects Marvel Mystery Comics #25–28, gathering Golden Age work by an impressive roster that includes Carl Burgos, Bill Everett, Jack Kirby, Al Avison, and more. The outer cover frames a reproduction of the original Marvel Mystery Comics #28 (February 1942) interior cover by Alex Schomburg, which crackles with period energy — a flaming figure streaks through an ornate hall while a cloaked villain menaces a woman before a crowd of sinister onlookers. It's a vivid window into the wild, anything-goes spirit of Marvel's earliest days, and a worthy showcase for some of the most energetic storytelling the Golden Age had to offer.

General Henchel faces the prospect of suicide because of his blunder along the German-Russian Front, but instead he makes a hasty departure by submarine to America. Arriving in the swamps of Louisiana, he decides to hide out in a mysterious cathedral, supposedly haunted, and is killed when he plays an organ, but is brought back as a zombie (like other former inhabitants of the edifice), leading his Army of the Dead out to kill Americans. The Angel discovers a zombie Monk at the cathedral and learns from him how to deal with the dreadful Army.
