Hepcat

I'm not talking about the size. I'm talking about the unnatural "fake" shape. Real titties don't just jut outward. They drop due to the effect of gravity thus concentrating breast tissue at the bottom. And that therefore is the way they should be drawn.

In all the years I've been on the boards, there's been a vocal minority-but-not-tiny group complaining that Schomburg's covers look 'too busy', 'too cluttered', 'his Marvel Mystery covers look all the same', etc etc. 

 

I agree. But until now I've never been "vocal" about it. I've just done my best to ignore his stuff.

Yes, I'm a big fan of good girl art. But why would a superheroine from the 1940's look like her mammary glands are bolt-ons she got at the plastic surgeon's office?

I mean what's with that? Nobody had even envisioned the possibility of implants back then.

It is truly sad how Schomburg copied himself over and over and over again...

 

Sad indeed. That cover was just blah the first time.

I need more present day soda fountain/dinette counters between Detroit and Montréal though!

That's why I like his simple bondage covers.

There! Now that's a Schomburg cover to my taste.

A favourite Walt Disney title from my collection:

Two more of my Batman Giants:

I don't like the whole concept of superheroes going to war. As a result I'm no fan of the vast majority of the covers that Alex Schomburg did for Timely.

Neither do I like the grisly horror comics that became popular after WWII ended. Yes, I like many of the EC artists - but not the subject matter.

More Carl Barks!

More Harvey goodness!

Now veering off into one of my actual favourite cover themes, star field covers.

When it comes to star field covers, this Milky Way cover is very tough to beat:

To me the price I paid for a book is irrelevant if my proceeds from a book ends up being 2/3 of what it could have been.

Well don't come asking for sympathy here. The operative expression here is "crying crocodile tears". Or "crying all the way to the bank".

That ComicLink auction was a disaster for the seller. 

Poor fellow. Didn't even net $17,500 on his forty year old comic mag. Times are tough all over.

Howdy Doody was a sensation in the 1950's!

Here's another Harvey:

I'm a huge fan of Buzzy as well as Herman and Katnip. Baby Huey though now offends my adult sensibilities. I mean a fat kid in a diaper? Yuck!!!

No. That's the first one I've ever noticed.

What dinette is that? Is it still in operation?

I believe that was the exact Mad magazine I bought for my reading enjoyment on a class train trip to Toronto in the spring of 1965!
