Does any body know what was Schomburg's last work was on a cover and also a complete comic? I know he did the Overstreet cover a while back and a cover to a comic but I cannot remember which one. I'd love to see his last complete comic, if there is such a thing. I know he left comics for the most part in the 50's but I thought he was lured back for an issue or two.

Comic Book Database doesn't list anything after the Invaders cover (or anything for about 25 years before it). His later printed works all appear to be reprints for reworked by other artists. It seems the database may be lacking a lot of information here.

I had the same problem, I could not find accurate info.

Cool, I never saw that one before. Did he just do the cover or the whole issue? I think there is still a Marvel issue from 91?

Nice 'trooper cover! :headbang:

 

There was a hardcover book with that cover and it came signed and numbered didn't it?

Yes, this is more of an ashcan than a regular comic. It was included with the signed, slipcased version of "The Comic Book Killer" which was signed by the author (whose name escapes me) as well as Alex Schomburg.

That looks like my scan.

Looks like an interesting book.

Ashcan's were used to secure trademarks so I don't think that's an apt description.

 

It's not his last newstand comic (that would be the Invaders) but rather a special limited edition used as a premium. In that sense, it's similar to the comic book that gets included inside a DVD or with a statue.

"Ashcan" in the 90's sense of a smaller version of a book. Not "Ashcan" in the 40's sense........
