Amazing Mysteries
Marvel // May 1949 - January 1950
Issue count: 4
The last issue of the true crime stories, the Amazing Mysteries series!
Atlas grew out of Timely Comics, the publisher that first brought The Human Torch, Sub-Mariner and Captain America in the 1940’s. But by 1950, the superhero stories were old-fashioned and TV and books were competing for the audience’s attention.
The villains featured in The Human Torch, Captain America and Sub-Mariner stories were all too similar and the comics broke no ground, leading to the cancellation of Captain America and the rebranding of Sub-Mariner Comics to Amazing Mysteries, where they started experimenting with different genres such as western, humor or crime/horror.
However, Amazing Mysteries wasn't that famous either and it only ran for 4 issues before being cancelled.
