Classic Schomburg WWII cvr - rare!
All Winners Comics #8 gives Golden Age master Alex Schomburg another opportunity to show off the skills that made him one of the most iconic artists of the wartime era. Schomburg constantly met the challenge of fitting all of Timely's biggest stars on a single cover, with this issue featuring even the sidekicks joining in attacking a battalion of terrified Axis forces. This classic covers sports Namor, Captain America, and the Human Torch alongside sidekicks Bucky and Toro as they all speed recklessly along in a military jeep while warplanes dominate the skyline. This is pure WWII mayhem of the kind that helped turn the comic book industry into a juggernaut during the halcyon days of the Golden Age — ensuring that All Winners Comics #8 remains a perennial favorite of Golden Age, Schomburg, and wartime collectors alike.____________________________________________________
There are just over 50 copies of this classic wartime book recorded on the CGC Census, with less than 40 being in their original condition. This 7.0 example is near the top of the boards, and retains a bright color scheme while remaining in very impressive condition after 81 years. The combination of Marvel’s top wartime heroes and their loyal sidekicks on this cover makes it a true classic of the WWII era, and a sought-after relic from one of the industry's most admired artists.
