Doohickamabob Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I don't think that is a Xela cover. It still looks like work by Norris or someone... It's totally Schomburg. Maybe not "Xela" since it's not full airbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman76 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Always wanted a Schomburg cover of any kind, but never have gotten one sadly. I always wondered, was there a reason he signed his airbrush covers Xela? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Case Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Always wanted a Schomburg cover of any kind, but never have gotten one sadly. I always wondered, was there a reason he signed his airbrush covers Xela? He probably wanted a pseudonym for his airbrush work and thought Xela(Alex backwards) fitted the bill perfectly.

path4play Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'm suprised no one has posted this non-signed, non-Nedor Xela classic? No (blank)? I own one of these beauties and never realized it was Schomburg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman76 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I remembered something from a Vince Fago interview I read recently and thought it was interesting. JA: What was Alex Schomburg like? FAGO: He was a very quiet man. I'd give him a cover and he'd disappear. His detail was so amazing. He had insight that the rest of us didn't. JA: Did he ever design his own covers? FAGO: No. We designed all the covers in house. I thought up a lot of the adventure covers. Then I'd ask Mike Sekowsky to give me a rough. He was terrific. Syd Shores did some of the Captain America covers and he also did roughs for Alex Schomburg's covers. JA: Did Schomburg get a higher page rate for his covers? FAGO: Oh yeah. There was no comparison. And he was perfect on deadlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricksneatstuff Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I haven't posted my copy of this in a while. I was really considering that 8.0 on C-Link, but then I pulled this out and realized I'm happy with what I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foley Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Instead of starting a new thread, I figured I'd ask here. What would you rather have, a mis-cut 6.0 (top image) Or a 4.5 cut more squarely (bottom) 6.0 is about $60 more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I would take the top copy 6.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The one where she's riding the big eagle comes to mind.) I'm used to it. Go with the copy that has better cover color and paper quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
