I highly recommend everyone run out and grab the Golden Age Marvel Comics Omnibus. Yes, I know you may have to sell your nephew in order to afford it, but you can also put it on your Christmas list.
Sell all the nephews to get this. Sis will make more -- the tramp.
Seriously, this book is the best thing ever produced by Marvel's elite Omnibus/Masterworks line. Get it. Sell children, pets, blood, whatever --ya don't REALLY need two kidneys--, but get it.
A. Leedom, President of the Red Raven Revival Society, has been selling blood for years to afford Masterworks/Omniboo. Not HIS blood, mind you...

No, that's Quog from "Adventures of Ka-Zar the Great" in Marvel Comics #1. (Good guess, though.) I tried searching for other appearances using the GCD but it looks like that might be his only one.

Human Torch: ...you know you're in a pre-Code comic from the passerby bursting into flame...It's interesting that Burgos uses a robot to be his Human Torch. It's also interesting that the robot feels more of a conscience than ANY of the humans, Horton included. Why does Sardo's swimming pool have a device that removes the air as well s draining the water? What exactly would one use that for, when it's not being used to imprison a combustible robot? For that matter, why does a mobster with a protection racket have an underground lab?
The Angel....p. 3: I am trying and failing to imagine how one would get into the back of a speeding car without the driver noticing it.
Sub-Mariner. Or, considering the brown water in the Masterwork, the Sewage-Mariner.
Both the sheriff and the gang members seem overwhelmed by the notion that the Raider is wearing a mask. Very odd.
Jungle Terror: Don't like the Old West? Try a jungle adventure.
The Professor shouldn't have gone off by himself....so Ken Masters and the Professor's nephew promptly go off by themselves to look for him, with no visible planning of any kind.
At the end, our "heroes" seem awfully proud of themselves for robbing the locals of a single diamond.
Apparently having a spear thrown into his back does not disturb Ka-Zar to any significant extent.

So that was the stock who brought you, VF!

I think Frank R. Paul's Human Torch is pretty bad. It looks more fitting for one of Goodman's pulp mag covers, but maybe Goodman liked that about it, maybe he thought his pulp readers would pick up this mag based on the cover. I'd rather Paul had taken a look at Burgos's illos and based his on that, but maybe there wasn't time due to work scheduling. It would have been very interesting though to see what kind of a Sub-Mariner Paul would have created.
