Question to the group: does original art still exist for any Schomburg airbrush covers? I know there are original Schomburg line art covers from the 40s, and painted pulp/magazine covers from the 50s. But asking specifically about the Startling/Thrilling/Exciting/Wonder lineups, from Nedor/Pines/what-have-you.

I've never seen any.  The only thing I've seen is I think somebody posted a picture of a painting or mural of a sci-fi image that was found at a school / college on the boards years ago.  I'm not sure what happened to it or what thread it was under, it was a looooooooooooong time ago.  Maybe someone downloaded it or can recall what I'm talking about.  (shrug)

It wouldn't surprise me if some of his airbrushed comic work still exists somewhere, perhaps held in trust by Alex's extended family members, but it's also possible that many (most?) of his originals were trashed after initial use. At the time, commercial illustration was considered disposable, usually bought outright by publishers at a given rate.

That's because it's not an airbrush cover...:gossip:  :baiting:

lol, understood. I guess my point was I was not familiar with his using this Xela on anything other than an airbrush cover until I ran across this.  I could start another thread "show us your Xela signed non-airbrush covers."
