classic Schomburg WWII Nazi cover
Who would have thought anyone could be nostalgic for war? Yet, that's kind of what has happened in recent years as latter-day audiences have clearly responded to the action-packed patriotic imagery of the type Alex Schomburg turned out regularly for Timely's parade of pro-Allied comics during the dog days of the Second World War. This startling cover, featuring the destruction of a German dam, is a prime example of the hyper-detailed, frantically busy worlds of wonder Schomburg could conjure up without breaking a sweat, and it's little wonder that comics fans and wartime memorabilia collectors continue to respond to his special brand of hyperactive and bombastic propaganda.
