About the series
Marvel’s Mystic Comics ran for ten issues from 1940 to 1942, a wartime anthology that showcased the publisher’s early forays into supernatural and superhero storytelling. The series is best remembered for introducing the Black Widow (a costumed avenger, not the later spy) and the angelic hero the Angel, with Stan Lee among the regular writers and George Klein, Harry Douglas, and Harry Sahle providing the artwork. Though brief, it captures the energetic, experimental spirit of Marvel’s Golden Age, blending horror, mystery, and patriotic heroics.
