Timeline

1905

Alexander A. Schomburg, born Alejandro Schomburg y Rosa (May 10, 1905 – April 7, 1998), was a Puerto Rican commercial artist and comic-book artist and painter whose career lasted over 70 years.

Alex Schomburg was born on May 10, 1905, in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, as the son of Guillermo Schomburg, a civil engineer and land surveyor of German ancestry and Jewish ancestry, and Francisca Rosa.

1917

Alex Schomburg moved to New York City in 1917, where he joined his older brothers and attended public school.

1923

In 1923 he began work as a commercial artist with three of his brothers.

1928

In 1928, the brothers' partnership ended and Schomburg found work with the National Screen Service, creating lantern slides and working on movie trailers there through 1944.

1930

During the 1930s, in addition to working for the NSS, Schomburg freelanced with Better Publications, producing interior line art for Thrilling Wonder Stories and other of the company's pulp magazines.

Through the 1930s and 1940s, Schomburg produced over 500 comic book covers.

1939

His skill at drawing anything mechanical soon had him illustrating aviation covers for Flying Aces and electronic equipment for the Hugo Gernsback pulp Radio Craft. Schomburg's first science fiction-themed cover was for the September 1939 issue of Startling Stories. As the artist recalled in 1939, "One day the publisher asked me to do an illustration for Thrilling Wonder Stories. I had always been interested in science fiction and they liked the way I handled the art work. I enjoy reading the story as much as doing the illustrations. In my opinion, an illustration is very important. For instance, give the same story to two different persons ... then ask them to picture a certain scene. You can bet they'll be entirely different."

1940

The following decade, Schomburg freelanced primarily for Timely Comics, the 1940s forerunner of Marvel Comics, displaying his talent for action tableaux in covers featuring Captain America, the Sub-Mariner, the Human Torch, and other superheroes.

His first recorded comic book work were two covers released the same month, for Daring Mystery Comics #1 and Marvel Mystery Comics #3 (both cover-dated Jan. 1940).

1946

Schomburg would draw most of Timley's covers, as well as a smattering of single-page interior illustrations, through Marvel Mystery Comics #76 (Sept. 1946).

He also provided covers for Pines Publications, for titles including Exciting Comics and America's Best Comics, featuring such superheroes as the Black Terror and the Fighting Yank, as well as for Harvey Comics, including the licensed radio-series crimefighter star of Green Hornet Comics.

1947

On some Pines comics from 1947 to 1949, he signed covers as "Xela."

1950

In the early 1950s, Schomburg left comics and spent the remainder of his career on covers and illustrations for science fiction magazines, astrology publications, and books, including the Winston juvenile series.

1962

In 1962, Schomburg moved to a ranch house in Newberg, Oregon.

His home was later purchased by the local university, George Fox University, and converted into student housing under the name "Schomburg House".

1977

In 1977, Schomburg and a few of his fellow Golden Age comic book artists collaborated on the Invaders Annual #1, written by Roy Thomas.

Schomburg penciled and inked a six-page chapter featuring the Golden Age Human Torch.

1998

Late in life, Schomburg resided in Hillsboro, Oregon, and died in Beaverton, Oregon, on April 7, 1998.

Stan Lee wrote:

"I've always felt that Alex Schomburg was to comic books what Norman Rockwell was to The Saturday Evening Post. He was totally unique, with an amazing distinctive style. You could never mistake a Schomburg cover for any other artist's. ... I remember hearing Timely Comics publisher Martin Goodman tell me time and again how great a cover illustrator Alex was, and how he wished we had more like him. ... [D]espite the quantity of work we gave him, despite the care and effort that went into every Schomburg cover, I cannot remember Alex ever being late with any illustration."
