The cover of #21 always makes me wonder what was wrong that month. Were Kane and Anderson in a rush? It seems the weakest of the original run. The layout is mediocre, the figures are too far in the background, and the cover blurb is typeset rather than hand-lettered with the lousy contrast choice of red on an orange background.

 

Does anyone else agree? Were there other hands involved in this cover? Was there something odd going on at DC in early 1963 when the issue was in production?
