Description

Super excited to add this Schomburg comic cover to the collection. There are only a handful that are known to exist to having the opportunity to own a published comic cover by the fabled artist is a privilege.

The collectability of many Golden Age comics can be traced directly to the man who drew their covers: Alex Schomburg. He is unquestionably the finest cover illustrator to work in the industry during the 1940s. This outstanding Speed Comics cover fairly boils with kinetic action as Captain Freedom, Shock Gibson, and the Black Cat triumph over heavily-armed Axis thugs. The portrayal of the enemy may not exactly be politically correct, but the mastery of the artist is not in question. The artwork is so complex and rich that every examination rewards the viewer with a host of subtle nuances.

Slam Bang action from WWII. Amazing how this survived in this clean condition. As for its offensive nature in showing the Japanese, this was part of the war effort to portray the enemy in caricature and stereotype. No different than how The Germans showed the Jewish people in caricature. It's an important artifact of those times in historical context.
