*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: Two war-time issues of Nedor’s anthology title Thrilling Comics from the Bute Collection this week, both graced with the era-defining covers of Alex Schomburg. As can be expected of this type of comic, many genres were covered in each issue: war, adventure, crime, super-hero, supernatural, detective, mystery etc.
