classic Human Torch/Sub-Mariner/Capt. America Schomburg coverTimely took no chances in promoting their top-line heroes and plugged them into every comic they possibly could, leading to the inevitable anthology all-star mashup title. With Captain America, Human Torch, and Sub-Mariner under one banner, graced by a classically unrestrained Schomburg cover, this debut issue was an instant success. These popular wartime superheroes acted as a magnet to war-weary readers hungry for excitement. This cover image eventually became an iconic classic, one of the most famous of WWII comics propaganda pieces and a firm favorite of the army of collectors that keep Schomburg's reputation alive.
There is just something undeniable about the power and appeal of an Alex Schomburg cover, his wartime contributions are considered some of the best in the history of the industry for good reason. This first entry into the run of All Select Comics is a well-known entity, showing Timely’s Big Three closing in on the personal safe space of the Fuhrer, forecasting the actual invasion of Berchtesgaden by Allied troops at the end of WWII. Although this book has some noticeable wear around the perimeter, the central image of Cap, Torch, and Namor has the freshness one likes to see in a comic from this time. If you have been yearning to own a copy of this book, now is your chance to pick it up at a discount, and still walk away with a very attractive example that offers superb eye appeal.
