ART IN THE CAMPER: ALEX SCHOMBURG PT 4

We've been spending the month enjoying the lovely art of Golden Age cover artist Alex Schomburg to celebrate the anniversary of his birth on May 10th.  Schomburg drew the most dynamic, action packed, violent, propaganda filled covers that the Golden Age of comics ever produced.  So far we have focused on Schomburg's work at the "Standard/Nedor/Better" publishing company.  We've showcased Judy of the Jungle, Princess Pantha, Fighting Yank, Black Terror and various others.  This week I want to focus on some of the female heroes that Schomburg drew, such as Miss Fury, Miss Masque, Black Cat and Tara the Space Pirate.  I also want to feature some of Schomburgs covers for Harvey Comics.  The next couple posts will focus exclusively on Schomburg's Marvel/Timely covers, specifically his work on Captain America, Submariner and Human Torch.  Enjoy!
