For those who don't frequent the Timely thread. A new arrival Sorry about the back cover glare, but it's such a cool back cover, I had to show it!

Thanks much! I couldn't get a back cover pic with any less glare The front cover pic came out good at least.

Well done Sir, well done indeed!!!

Mail call Got a decent front cover pic but the back cover pic, not so much.

Found the scans in a file!

Shhhhhh! It's on my radar!

Double to triple!!!

For me, I'd have to say that taking into consideration the entirety of the Golden Age, it would be Alex Schomburg that stands out to me to have given the most classic covers!!! From the earliest days of Timely in late 1939 until around the middle of 1946, he drew SO many of my favorite Captain America and Marvel Mystery covers!!! Captain America 3, 26-29, 31 & 33 are ALL fantastic covers, none of which are similar to each other!!! Marvel Mystery 3 thru somewhere in the 50s numbering, Alex drew so many covers filled to the brim with outlandish torture devices, imaginative escape scenarios and heroic last minute rescues! It's true that SOME of his covers, once the books shrunk to the smaller size around 1944, took on a bit more of a "similar" look and feel, but his output prior to that is MORE than enough to outpace just about any other artist that comes to mind. Oh, I'd be remiss if I didn't at least MENTION his covers for All Select, All Winners, Daring Mystery, Human Torch, Mystic Comics, Sub-Mariner, Young Allies, U.S.A. and a handful of other short run titles. And that's just Timely. His body of work at Nedor is also enormous! Several Excitings and Thrillings are considered classics. He also did a handful of covers for MLJ. And then there's Suspense 3, perhaps THE most classic cover of all in some collectors eyes! There are still more that I haven't mentioned, but you get the idea. Everyone has their favorites and it's often difficult to distill that down to one, but I would bet that the majority of the GA collectors on the boards at least have a FEW Schomburg covers that they love. Schomburg it is for me!!!

4 panels to 4 bubbles.

A bit of color tough on this one, but it's .... um ..... well done!

Likewise, yeah

Yeah

Love this jungle book!

A BIG defect on this low grade copy, but a cover that I really like!

Just a fun, simple cover that makes me think of what it must've been like to be a kid in the early 40s.

Once again, a book I've wanted for some time and the only copy that I've ever owned of this issue. Great Flanagan cover on this pre hero issue!!!

Only the second copy of this issue that I have ever owned. This is a favorite pre hero More Fun for me!

I had wanted a copy of this issue for several years before being able to buy this one. It's the first non humor cover in the More Fun run and it's been a LONGTIME favorite of mine!

Lower grade with tape, so not a great copy, but a VERY early book to feature a non humor cover!

This is a super cool book on the inside as well as the cover!!!
