Alex Schomburg produced the most dazzling array of high-quality comic-book covers in the Golden Age of American Comics. Spider-Man, Hulk, and X-Men co-creator Stan Lee said, "Alex Schomburg was to... comic books what Norman Rockwell was to The Saturday Evening Post." Golden Age comic books with Schomburg covers are selling for record prices in America's leading auction houses. This book collects, for the first time, a host of tantalizing Schomburg treasures in one volume. Superheroes, jungle girls, robots, wild animals, and space travelers abound in these romantic and nostalgic Pop-Art icons of the bygone WWII era.

Thrilling Comic Book Cover Art of Alex Schomburg
A great coffee-table book which, while not being an exhaustive encyclopaedic account of the history of comic books, is chock-full of great anecdotes on the subject. These include:
-Vertigo editor Karen Berger explaining to Neil Gaiman that "there is no masturbation in the DC universe."
-Bob Kane's never-ending love affair with himself
-Bob Kanigher's thoughts on Bob Kane & Julius Schwartz's appetite
-an entry devoted to Alex Raymond's '56 Corvette, which killed him
-the party held at John Byrne's house, where Marvel's then-Editor in Chief Jim Shooter was burned in effigy
-an entry devoted to the comics biz' history of suicides (Wally Wood, Jack Cole, Vaughn Bode, and others)
-Jean "Moebius" Giraud using a Sharpie to deface a convention sketch that he'd just drawn for a fan, after being asked by that fan to ink it as well
...and many more!
