Lets See those WWII Japanese Covers 8 8

[Straw-Man]

I was fortunate to find this at SDCC, over the top cover... I've been looking for one for 18 years!!

 

 

SO cool!

[nearmint]

Nice one!

[MrBedrock]

It's hard to tear your eyes off that cover. But it sure looks nicer than a 6.5.

Thanks, Cat. I think what attracts me and many other collectors to Schomburg's war covers are the frenetic nature of the action, with so much packed into the image, coupled with the frequent use of almost Rube Goldberg devices to further the scene. It makes me think of Austin Power's Dr. Evil and his sharks with frickin' lasers!

 

I mean, wouldn't it be simpler, faster, and more cost effective to just shoot Jefferson, Tubby, and Whitewash than to go all "death by lions" on them? Just sayin'.

Schomburg's villains always come across to me as juvenile delinquents who don't just want to kill a frog - they want to boil it alive as an experiment. The heroes are killjoys who spoil their fun and therefore deserve to die like the straightlaced parents they represent. Not so much good vs evil as good vs really really naughty!

This cover has nothing to do with the story inside.

This cover really gives an idea of the extent of popular feeling against Japan following Pearl Harbor.

Common way for a country to portray it's enemy, as vermin that need to be exterminated.. I believe the Nazis used the same propaganda technique in a 1933 movie called "The Eternal Jew".
