Marvel Mystery Comics #26
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFrom the golden pages of 1941, this December issue of Marvel Mystery Comics delivers one of the era's most viscerally thrilling covers, courtesy of Alex Schomburg. The Sub-Mariner is caught mid-leap, tearing apart a German Luftwaffe plane with his bare hands while warships and submarines battle across the churning waters below — the cover text even narrates the moment in breathless caption. Bill Everett, handling the full creative duties on the interior story "The Parrot Strikes Back," makes this a remarkably focused showcase for one of comics' most compelling early characters.
