This is the cover to Page Publications' Marvel Tales #3:
The cover image is a composite of previously published cover images. The Thor image originally appeared on the cover of Marvel Comics' Journey Into Mystery #89 and was published by Yaffa on The Mighty Thor #3:
The Spider-Man image is from The Spectacular Spider-Man #6:
And the Human Torch figure is from Marvel's The Human Torch #2:
The latter two covers may have inspired the three-point clockwise design.
The contents:
The Return of the Vulture, originally published in The Amazing Spider-Man #7, December 1963
Prisoner of the Wizard Part 1, originally published in Strange Tales #102, November 1962
Wizard' Wiles Part 2, originally published in Strange Tales #102, November 1962
On the Trail of the Tomorrow Man! [Part 1], originally published in Journey Into Mystery #86, November 1962
Flight to the Future Part 2, originally published in Journey Into Mystery #86, November 1962
The Vengeance of the Scarlet Beetle!, originally published in Tales to Astonish #39, January 1963
All of these stories were previously published in Marvel Tales #4, September 1966:
Given this issue reprints the original covers to the stories, it is clear why Yaffa felt the need to contrive an original cover for their edition.
Marvel Tales #3 is a digest-sized edition. My best guess is this was published early-1982.
