Man, there are a TON of these terrific covers. I could seriously do Mighty Samson covers for a month straight. I mean, again, look at that thing, it’s gorgeous.

This is one of the weirdest. I guess we’re l0oking at the product of mad science?

    Ummmm… so the artist took a SST like the Concorde and decided to paint an organic version of it by crossing it with a vulture? The scales on the back even look like the windows along the side.

    I’m guessing Gold Key comics did not have a very stringent drug test policy back then?

    a jet-powered reptile! Who would believe such a thing ;)

    They had a very strict policy on drug use.
    It was mandatory.
    I love this jetdactyl unreservedly, and only wish he were fighting the Shogun Warriors.

    Space monsters too?! Hmmm. I wonder if they did time travel stories as well. They could have done an interesting story where Samson journeys back in time and fights alongside his historical namesake. Although, after a jet-powered space-bird, something like time travel might come off as a little prosaic….

    Mad science is clearly the best kind.

    Hummm…He goes back in time to pre-nuke NYC, and gets to decide on preventing his own existence. Nah…no monsters involved, unless you mean politicians.

    Not exactly time travel, but they did find at least one survivor from before the holocaust in suspended animation.

    There was a lot of this comic in the animated series _Thundarr the Barbarian_.

    Ah, yes! First thing I thought when I saw that puppy.
