Marvel Mystery Comics #28
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis February 1942 issue of Marvel Mystery Comics features a gripping Alex Schomburg cover that throws you straight into a subterranean nightmare — a woman chained and suspended over a bubbling vat of acid while a robed, masked villain looks on from a sinister throne, surrounded by a horde of grotesque green-skinned creatures brandishing weapons. Blazing to the rescue in a dramatic diving pose, the Human Torch tears through the dungeon in a torrent of flame, scattering chaos across the chamber. Schomburg's densely packed, brilliantly colored composition captures the pulse-pounding pulp energy that made wartime Timely Comics so compelling.

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.
