Lot # 26: 1945 Timely Comics #46 Captain American Holocaust Cover by Alex Schomburg - CGC 3.0 Restored Slight (C-1)

An important Golden Age key issue is spotlighted, with the presentation of this 4/45 Timely Comics Captain America Comics #46 issue. This touching issue is greatly prized by collectors for its WWII Holocaust depiction on the front cover. The work of prolific cover specialist Alex Schomburg, this unnerving scene portrays a bound, bearded man with a red death tag around his neck, about to be put into the fire, as a group of dejected prisoners is forced to witness the atrocity at gunpoint. Stirring stuff to be sure. This long-secluded key has just returned from CGC grading submission in a restored grade holder, with a rating of 3.0, Light Tan to Off-White Pages, Slight (C-1). Label notes are "Restoration includes: small amount of glue on cover, tear seals to cover. Vince Alascia, Carmine Infantino, Paul Reinman and Al Bellman art, Alex Schomburg cover. Holocaust cover. Human Torch story.".
