Marvel Mystery Comics #81

A compelling 1947 entry in the long-running Marvel Mystery Comics series, this issue spotlights "The Mystery of the Crimson Terror!" — a feature story thriller teased right on the cover itself. Marty Nodell's cover art depicts a sneering, cigar-chomping villain looming large over a chaotic street scene of protesters carrying signs demanding homes and rooms, while a swirling figure wreathed in crimson flames coils menacingly around him. A badge in the corner reminds readers that Captain America also appears inside, making this a packed issue from one of 1947's most reliable anthology titles.
