Excerpt: The Angel The Angel ( Thomas Halloway ) is a fictional character , superhero in comic books published by Marvel Comics . Created by writer-artist Paul Gustavson during the period comics fans and historians call the Golden Age of comic books , the Angel first appeared in Marvel Comics #1 (Oct. 1939), the first publication of Marvel predecessor Timely Comics . The Angel, like Batman , is a non-superpowered detective who nonetheless wore a superhero costume. Gustavson cited Leslie Charteris ‘ pulp-novel detective, Simon Templar , the “Saint,” as a model for the Angel. Publication history The Angel was the next-most-popular Timely character after the “big three” of the Human Torch , the Sub-Mariner and Captain America , with more than 100 Golden Age appearances starting in that initial Marvel title (which changed its name to Marvel Mystery Comics with issue #2), up through #79 (Dec. 1946); as the sole backup feature in Sub-Mariner Comics #1-21 (Spring 1941 – Fall 1946); and in occasional appearances in Mystic Comics and Daring Comics . A simulacrum of the Angel was temporarily created from the mind of Rick Jones , along with those of the Blazing Skull , the Fin , the Patriot , and the Golden Age Vision , to aid the superhero team the Avengers during the Kree-Skrull War , in The Avengers #97 (March 1972). The Angel is one of the central characters of the 2009 comic-book series The Marvels Project , by writer Ed Brubaker and penciler Steve Epting .
