I know I just gush about all of these, but seriously, dude, look at that. Is that Frazetta? The line work on the defendant especially reminds me of his work.

    I think it looks a bit more like Joe Kubert, or someone a bit more workmanlike than Frazetta. Besides, 25 cents would have put this in the mid-late 70’s, and wasn’t he at his height then? He might have priced himself out of doing comic books by that time. But I don’t know, maybe it is Frazetta.

    How much did you squeal over all these skellingtons, Ken?

    And that is a well-drawn skelly. Honestly, I don’t blame you for gushing over these, they’re fantastic. Especially when you look at who draws modern American mainstream comics nowadays…

    When I see things like this – and like the crowd of whoever-they-are at the end of “The Rise of Skywalker” – I can’t help but think what do these guys *do*? Do they go home at night to skeleton families and pets? “Hi honey, I’m home! What a tough day retributing justice on deserving humans.”

  • According to the DC Database, this cover is done by Nick Cardy. Who is Nick Cardy? No clue. Seems to have done a lot of work for DC, though.

    That’s who I was thinking too — Kubert for the pencils (but definitely not Kubert on the inks).

    Off topic, but I just heard Treat Williams was killed in a motorcycle collision…

    Or was i thinking Neal Adams? There’s a vampire story done for one of the Warren books that this reminded me of.

    A lot! Whoever did draw this should have done a Ghost Rider comic.

    It’s basically like how El Santo lives. He does normal stuff, but in his complete gear all the time, shirtless and with cape.
