porcupine48 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 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 Paul,there are plenty of affordable overlooked Schomburg covers out there...even Cap'n Easy!

Scrooge Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 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. While anything is possible, the cover artist for #4 (Joe Buresch) was a poor draftsman - some of his interior work is quite abysmal. Thanks Damon. So, what Sacentaur is saying is that for once the cover of this Centaur reflects the poopy art inside Yes, I have seen Buresch's art and aside from the occasional good panel here and there in the rare case where he uses a more fussy style where there are in the end too many lines, his work is nowhere near professional. Still, the resemblance to Roy Crane on that cover is not accidental as the example posted by Damonwad indicates. Here's some more Crane. Wonder if Buresch used this for inspiration to draw women - 1934 could be harsh in its views ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtsunlimited Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I've been an off again on again collector since the mid-1980s. When I first started collecting, the Mile High Comics store on Broadway in Denver had monthly auctions. Every once in a while a Church book or two would get auctioned off (those were the days!!!). I managed to pick up a few Church books at those auctions (in fact, I picked up a few Centaurs which seemed cool to me at the time for some reason which is why I've been working on a few Centaur runs ever since). Most of the Church books auctioned were either insignificant at the time '30s books or '50s books though. The '50s books tended to be mid-grade. Some of the '30s and early '40s books were originally bought by Church from a second hand book store. Here's one such example with the second hand store flyer pasted in: King Comics #48 April 1940 : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
