classic Schomburg Nazi War cover; last 68 page issueThere was a brief moment in history during WWII that the US and Russia worked together to crush the onslaught of fascism that spread like wildfire throughout Europe, and this cover of Captain America Comics #27 commemorates that cooperation in a wild kaleidoscopic battle scene done the way only Alex Schomburg could. His tumultuous approach to his wartime covers set the tone for the Golden Age, and his style was copied by many of the other burgeoning talents in the industry, but this cover is pure Schomburg, one of many masterpieces the gifted artist crafted in the era.
The insane color scheme on this cover has lost none of its impact, pinks, blues, reds, yellows, and greens all clash across this amazing illustration, adding up to a proto-psychedelic design a good two and a half decades before the style would become commonplace. Any WWII-era Alex Schomburg cover is a sought-after collectible, regardless of condition, but this FN+ example delivers the goods, despite some minor abrasion around the logo. The central image still glows, this is a true cult classic of the Golden Age.
