WWII Japanese bondage/torture cover; Human Torch story (2/44)Syd Shores had the thankless task of stepping into the breach whenever Alex Schomburg was unable to create covers for Captain America Comics, and as most Golden Age mavens agree, he did an admirable job of keeping the continuity flowing along seamlessly. This oddball Japanese torture cover is incredibly well balanced, as both sides of the page mirror the action of one another. Cap drops in from stage left to clobber one of the ogres as Bucky prepares to dispatch his comrade on the right, and the look of the fellow at center is simply priceless, as he is well-aware his number is up. This cover is quite beautiful in its composition, which makes it an outlier from all of the helter-skelter wartime covers Golden Age fans are accustomed to.
