This arrived today. My last purchase of '16 and my first Schommie. :banana:

Nice first Schomburg Paul. You will be hooked soon. Like you, I started out with PCH. When I got all I wanted (still have them too). I discovered Schomburg and bought like a fiend. I'm pretty close to having all the war cover Nedors.

I hear ya Bob. Unfortunately I can't buy like a man possessed, much as I'd like to.My Schommies are going to be few and far between, so it' going to be a big deal for me when I can get another one :cry:

Another run I've had for a while:

Sorry for the crappy pictures :frustrated:

 

 

Nice! Not the easiest 4 issue run to complete (I just need a #2).

 

They are cool ... except for the cover of issue 4, which looks like the regular artist was out of the office and the guy in the mailroom took a turn. Of course, issue 4 is the only one I've got! :D

I don't know. # 4 is drawn, as you know, in the Roy Crane style, hugely popular at the time, so the editor might actually have been really keen on # 4 hoping to capture the eye of kids who liked Captain Easy and hopefully their dime as well. I probably prefer # 4 over # 2 (though I'll be okay to be in the minority on this one).

 

Great set of books regardless :applause:

While anything is possible, the cover artist for #4 (Joe Buresch) was a poor draftsman - some of his interior work is quite abysmal.
