vaillant Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The girl is also not very Schomburg, as Schomburg was gorgeous but more "restrained" in the overall layout of the human figure (and this is what makes his painting pieces great, IMO). That monster is also pretty un-Schomburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) ..... I had always considered it a Saunders cover and was surprised to see the notation. The technique certainly seems consistent with his output. During this time period he was doing pulps, anthologies, paperbacks, and then the whole Ziff-Davis run...... he would almost would have to utilize assistants for deadline purposes.

Straw-Man Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I had part of this book as a kid (front cover and 20 or so pages). Thanks to BLB for mentioning it in one of his recent historical posts... I gave up hunting for one years ago, but when he reminded me of it, I looked around, and now, 35 years later, I will get to finish the second story and read the rest of the book I know, I know... It has tape. Sometimes, for some books, even your biggest no-go-oh-hell-no deal-breaker doesn't matter. i like this book very much, and am on the lookout for a #2 to go with my own copy.

jimjum12 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 ....here I've always thought Saunders did all the Z-D's...... but the above example has his dynamic layout but the technique is not quite right...... I wonder if he did layouts for others to finish from time to time..... GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat-Man_America Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Who did this cover? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [font:Times New Roman]Can't say for certain, but my best guess would be Rafael DeSoto. It looks like his style. DeSoto did some uncredited comic book covers in the early 50's, but he's most known for pulp covers. http://www.pulpartists.com/DeSoto.html [/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

originalisbest Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Thanks to Comichut for this beauty. Great copy. Without its being signed, I would never have identified that cover as being by Jack Davis. Definitely one of his best, but I have to disagree -- signature or no, it's readily identifiable as a Davis work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
