- "The Case of Liberty's Survival" (10 pages)
Art by Jerry Robinson, featuring The Baron & the Nazis.
The cover is supposed to be by the late, great Alex Schomburg and it does look a lot like his style but I believe the cover art is NOT by Schomburg! I think it's another artist trying to copy Schomburg's style, and doing a pretty good job of it. But if you look closely there are some hints it's not Schomburg - the hands, the black background, the girl and other details just don't look right. And it's not signed. Schomburg normally wasn't shy about signing his work.
Update -- I'm now about 98% sure the cover art is by Harvey Comics cover veteran
Al Avison.
P.S. I no longer own this comic, it was sold in April 2003 for
$69.
