Marvel Mystery Comics #73
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFrom 1946, this issue of Marvel Mystery Comics presents a striking cover inked by Vince Alascia — a fiery, flame-wreathed figure twists dramatically at the center, surrounded by a flurry of newspaper headlines screaming about a werewolf loose in the city, with snarling werewolf faces lurking in the shadowy corners of the composition. The bold reds and golds of the blazing form against the chaos of newsprint create an atmosphere of genuine urgency. With a story titled "Killer Boss of Westport" inside, this June 1946 issue delivers the kind of pulpy thrills that made Marvel Mystery Comics a staple of the Golden Age.
