Subby in pin striped gangster suit. Love it. 

The Trekkie that I am - he looks like Spock in the episode, "A Piece of the Action."  One of my favorites by the way.  Fizzbin, anyone?

Absolutely agree. I always thought Spock would make a good Subby.

Old CBM ad. 

Mark Drennan's old copy. Very solid, attractive copy, yet he carried it around for years without much interest from anyone.

Marvel Science Stories 1, 1938 was by “Postal Publications” owned by Abraham and Martin Goodman, and cover art by Norman Saunders. The front story features the title story ” ‘Avengers’ of Space.” The title character of this pulp adventure has to Avenge earth from Invaders from another planet. Goodman published Marvel Comics 1 a year later with the same cover artist who did much of this interior pulp art in this issue, Frank R. Paul. With names like Marvel and Avengers, it’s likely that Martin Goodman came up with the name for the team starring in the highly grossing Marvel films.

 

From comic book historians.

The cover of Marvel Science Stories 2, 11/1938 and Marvel Comics 1 1939 both with covers by Frank R. Paul, who illustrated many pulps, famous for his illustrations for Hugo Gernsback’s magazines.

Speaking of Winged Characters, Marvel Tales 6, 1939, (previously titled Marvel Science Stories) has an Angel character in the story Angel From Hell with art by J.W. Scott, which seems to be a part of a theme of Goodman trying out winged characters in various stages of his publishing history

Satan Hall, anti-hero detective appeared in Detective Fiction Weekly, this issue shown is from 1932.

He bears a striking resemblance to Namor, the Sub-Mariner by Bill Everett in Marvel Comics 1, 1939.

Sub-Mariner was then in turn the basis for Spock in Star Trek who first had a pilot in 1965 starring Leonard Nimoy in Make up.  The bottom paragraph is a letter by Stan Lee to a fan confirming the connection.
