No, not the famous character from the 1850 Dumas' novel. This one is a Nazi saboteur sent to wreak havoc in America and take down hero Spy Smasher, in Fawcett comic book Spy Smasher #4 (April 22, 1942).
An unnamed German musician, he didn't salute Hitler, so Hitler has an iron mask welded over his head, and tells him the only way to get it off is to bring him the head of Spy-Smasher.
Masky is hiding in and haunting Castle Fenmore, which is being renovated into Fort Corby. He's playing the enormous pipe organ in the night, and causing fatal industrial accidents during the day. Spy Smasher (really wealthy Alan Armstrong) and Masky fight several times, and eventually Spy Smasher knocks him into the moat where the weight of his mask pulls him down and he drowns.
