classic Alex Schomburg Sub-Mariner aircraft carrier cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 6 (CBI)
Sub-Mariner #8 stands out as one of Alex Schomburg's most thrilling wartime covers, with a dreamlike image of an oversized Prince Namor capsizing a Japanese carrier with his bare hands. The surreal imagery makes this issue one of the most enduring "Rising Sun" covers of the Golden Age. Schomburg's work is also inspired by the enclosed "Setting of the Rising Sun!" story, while the Sub-Mariner also goes undercover in the Marines for "The Mystery of the Lighthouse." Collectors further value this vintage book for one of the rare scripts by pulp writer Kermit Jaediker, whose "Genius for Murder" is a particularly grim tale of a psychotic would-be writer tracked down by the Angel.
_______________________________________________
This stunning 8.0 Sub-Mariner #8 truly stands out among the scarce 49 copies listed on the CGC Census, with only five copies graded higher! The classic cover sports bright red hues that still provide a vivid contrast to the yellows and greens after 83 years. It's always exciting to offer iconic wartime art from Alex Schomburg, and even more so when it's a high-grade beauty that showcases the comic's original impact!
