Art from Crack Comics #12 that has been attributed to Lou Fine:

Similar art for the cover of Crack Comics #14, which I’m unsure if it was redrawn by Fine or someone imitating him:

Several early HIT Comics already suggested as worthy classic cover candidates.  

Recommending more seems overkill, but...

  

  Reveal hidden contents

... Reed Crandall's cover for HIT Comics #18 shouldn't be a bridge too far.   

Just discovered Crandall signed this one. Seems that he often didn’t sign his comic work, but it’s nice to have art for comparison for unsigned art.

Possibly Gil Kane:

Ernie Schroeder. I’m a fan of his work for Harvey and Hillman, but haven’t seen that much written about him.

The Alter Ego interview with him is certainly welcome, but yeah, he was quite an ambitious artist, profound at times even, whose art is deserving to be found out about more (Airboy Comics #v8#11, December 1951):

“Cardwell” was thought to have been a fake name used in Prize Comics, but it turns out the name belongs to pulp and pin-up illustrator Cardwell Higgins.

Yeah I don't know where people are getting that Cole had anything to do with the insides at all. That's all 100 percent Chambers for sure. Now the cover was almost certainly inked by Cole and penciled by Chambers.

I get the feeling Cole inked the interior art as well. Chambers inking by himself tends to have less bold lines I recall.

Larry Riley, who liked to draw furry animals, at least with cats, as short, a little chubby, and with tufts of fur sticking out from the sides of their face. He also went as far as drawing characters with irises:
