The original Human Torch flamed on before “Flame on!” was a thing…
This is what our pal Scott Tipton said in this week’s 1945 RETRO HOT PICKS: “Intricate, violent and just a touch lurid, there’s nothing like an Alex Schomburg cover.”
He’s right! So here’s this year’s 13 COVERS birthday salute to the artist, who was born 120 years ago, on May 10, 1905.
All from Timely’s The Human Torch!

No idea how well the Human Torch sold back in those days, but can’t imagine they weren’t in high demand based on these eye-catching covers. An impressive collection.

I love these Golden Age covers.
