Still not a golden age comic but looks like one, I like the Lupoff-Schomburg collaboration found in "The Comic Book Killer".

This thread can always use another high octane bump, so without further adieu, ...

Who doesn’t like robot covers? This one’s a doozy!  Alex had the nuts & bolts down on this monster machine.

Schomburg didn’t shy away from WMD covers (not an uncommon fear on the home-front in WWII)...

One of the few times Schomburg worked on an interior story (Jon Juan #1, Spring 1950):

There’s a lot to unpack here.

first of all, an artistic team of Jerry Siegel and Alex schomburg? I would never have imagined such a thing.

second of all, it seems apparent that Alex schomburg’s brilliance shone more brightly in his cover work than in his interior work. Or maybe that’s too limited a view. Maybe his brilliance shone more brightly in WWII war themes than in romance/intrigue.

I suppose more could have been gotten out of it, even on the grounds of being a fun little experiment, but I felt that Schomburg’s interior art was still solid, well-proportioned, and still pleasing to look at than at lot of lacking interior art from other comics. He definitely could have done what Mac Raboy did for Green Lama #7 and have presented the story using Craftint Doubletone paper though. Not sure if Schomburg was ever familiar with that approach, but the results using it can be quite interesting:
