The Green Mask

Few heroes carry the mystique of a name like The Green Mask, a masked figure who burst onto the scene in 1940 — right at the glorious dawn of the Golden Age — courtesy of creator Walter Frehm. Sharing the pulpy, action-packed pages of Mystery Men Comics with luminaries like The Blue Beetle, The Flame, and Dan Garret, this character kept genuinely elite Golden Age company. What's remarkable is that The Green Mask has resurfaced in print as recently as 2017 through Gwandanaland Comics, meaning a new generation of collectors can discover this piece of comics history without hunting through brittle newsprint. For fans who love the raw, adventurous spirit of early masked heroes, The Green Mask is a wonderful window into the era when the whole superhero genre was still finding its thrilling shape.
