Top Schomburg Covers
2 2

184 posts in this topic

All Select #1 and #2 are fantastic. I think I prefer #2 over #1. For the last year or so i've started to become a little less enchanted by the Schomburg art most of are familiar with like the WWII covers on Timelys and Nedors.

 

The later Xela and airbrush stuff is certainly great, but has never appealed to me as much. I'd love to see Startling #49 in the same style as Suspense #3.

 

Lately I'm more attracted to his early stuff. Marvel Mystery #4 might be my favorite.

 

If I had to be on an island with a few Schomburg covers, these would round out my top 10:

 

Marvel Mystery #4 is near the top of the list for me. It has it all...Subby, Nazis, Damsel, Yellow cover, early Schomburg.

 

All Select #1 is terrific and also up there (just picked one up).

 

I'd put Thrilling #7 up there along with Marvel Mystery #5, Daring #1 (killer early pulp style cover with a futuristic city), Daring #4 and Mystic #4 (what a terrific use of black and green).

 

All Winners #11 and Captain America Comics #3 have to be on the list.

 

Marvel Mystery #9 would be at the top of the list for me though. I don't know if it gets any better than that cover. I don't have one now. :cry:

 

I'm a huge fan of the early Schomburg covers.

As a BIG time Schomburg fan there are just too many that could fit into the top category. No one did the Torch better than Alex. Here are some of my favorites...

And as if this needed an exclamation point to make the point... :banana:

And several non-Torch Schomburg sizzlers worthy of honorable mention...
