WWII Japanese bondage cover by Schomburg; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)Captain America Comics #31 is graced with a Schomburg cover that covers all of the bases, explosive mayhem, maiden in bondage, with Cap and Bucky in the center of it all, while the interior story features the gruesome Fungi, a precursor to the Man-Thing. This Pacific theater battle cover was typical of the period, as the demonization of Axis foes was all the rage in the comic industry, the grotesque caricatures of Japanese soldiers may seem crass to the modern viewer, but during the emotionally pitched era of WWII, covers like this, by GA wunderkind Alex Schomburg, helped raise morale and steel the populace for the unpleasant struggle raging across the planet.
Nothing says 1943 like Axis powers, bondage, and chaotic scenes that bend perspective to the will of print media. This iconic Schomburg cover contains all three touchstones as well as maintaining an impressive 8.0 grade, making it quite the rarity among Golden Age collections. The intact colors and fresh appearance are really essential to appreciating Schomburg s war-era madness.
Overstreet Guide 2019 VF (8.0) value = $3,000.
