So, like, now that all the dust has settled an' all, it looks like Lou Fine comes out on top, right?

Aagghh - don't remind me.  Everett beat both Fine and Zolnerowich in succession. 

The championship game is almost over and the winner will be revealed.

I did vote for both Zolne and Fine.  Everett proved to be very powerful and then lost to Wood in the Final Four.

I voted for Schomburg throughout the contest.  The quality of his art and the volume of his work made him #1 for me.

I was stunned that Frazetta made it so far. I know he has many fans based on his later work, but he didn't do very many GA covers.

 

Perhaps not many but with his final 9 he went out with a bang!

Yeah, that was when I became really frustrated with the spamming and didn't put much effort into that post.  Sorry.

That is my favorite Schomburg cover, and you have a nice book there.  The 37s tend to get miscut a lot, and many of them have Schomburg's name cut off the bottom.  Yours is cut right.  Let's get a CVA sticker on that sucker

[telerites]

Thanks for playing everyone and indulging me.  It was fun to see how it evolved.  Here is the final bracket in case anyone wants to see it.

I cracked it out a while ago.

Unfortunately, not feeling well, I missed the final vote. 

As with Frazetta, I would've picked Schomburg over Wood for the winner, same reason, I more associate both Wood and Frazetta with pre-Code 50s, and Schomburg with 40s Golden Age.

Thanks for doing the contest, Jeff.

Sorry, should have added these folks like I have been since they may not visit the GA forum that often.
