It looks even more risqué exposing the spine! :devil:

looks like this paperback was produced by the same company who did the Xela Startlings, Thrillings and Wonder Comics:

Popular Library was a New York paperback book company established in 1942 by Leo Margulies and Ned Pines, who at the time were major pulp magazine and newspaper publishers.[1] The company's logo of a pine tree was a tribute to Pines, and another Popular Library signature visual was a reduced black-and-white copy of the front cover on the title page. A native of Malden, Massachusetts, Pines became the president of Pines Publications in 1928 and continued to lead the company until 1961. He was the president of Popular Library from 1942 to 1966 and its chairman from 1966 to 1968. Retiring in 1971, he continued to work as a consultant. In 1977, CBS Publications purchased Popular Library and Fawcett Books. CBS then renewed the copyright of the Standard/Better/Nedor/Popular 1950s pulps library and the various Captain Marvel titles.

Makes sense as Schomburg was working for Better before Timely.

Good call! He painted the Sept. '39 cover of Startling Stories for Thrilling Publications (aka Better/Standard/Nedor).

These were second cousins of the little alien thieves who tried to make off with Bucky on the cover of All Select #10. :bigsmile:

Note: This copy isn't from my collection, but I don't think the current owner would mind my posting the Heritage image for reference...

I wonder if Alex's little aliens inspired George Lucas creating the scavenger JAWAS in Star Wars? hm
