This cover is downright creepy.

 

 

 

Jeez, the scariest thing here is that doll in the cot. no wonder shes bawling.

They're in the distant past but found a big ol' chunk of kryptonite?

My brain hurts.

 

Great colors!!

Forgot this one from yesterday

 

 

Yes, it's that nice.

 

Nice copy, but not Kubert's "All clear/ they'll never find us here!" cover AGAIN!!

Nope. That's a Heath cover.

[Paratrooper]

Nope. That's a Heath cover.

weird though, Heath usually signs his covers "RH" or "Russ Heath". Can't seem to find it on this cover.

Ooops.

Comment applies to overuse of that cover shtick by all of the DC war artists -- Kubert used it most often.

This is a really nostalgic cover to me. It reminds me of summer weekends at the coast, seaside shops with beach stuff piled outside, of sweet smells and slot machine noises jangling away in the background.

 

Superboy #132 is far less common than might be expected.

Nope. That's a Heath cover.

That's 'Trooper's pedigree copy!

 

Kid Colt Outlaw 132. Fair-to-middlin' copy of a fair-to-middlin' cover.

 

 

Strange Adventures 132. Not mine -- on my want list because of that exceptionally handsome scientist in the center.

Missed this one yesterday.

 

 

Now on to the 132s.

 

Fantastic Murphy Anderson cover

 

 

[Tony D]

My copy of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #132

 

[JohnT]

Nope. That's a Heath cover.

 

That has to be Kubert.

[Karma23]

Nope. That's a Heath cover.

 

That has to be Kubert.

 

I thought it had touches of both. GCD credits it as Kubert pencils and Heath inks. Everybody's a winner!

Playing catchup from yesterday..

 

This is a nice cover...it even has some wash-tone effects!

Only thing even vaguely Kubertesque about that is the central action taking place within a black "vacuum." Kubert employed that on a number of other covers, but Heath--the perfectionist for details--was virtually incapable of NOT filling in background and foreground elements. If Kubert had ANYTHING to do with this, it would have been that he had Heath kidnapped from the Playboy mansion out of desperation in order to fulfill the deadline and dumped Heath off in a back alley as soon as Heath finished the minimum action to convey the scene.

Sometimes the GCD gets it wrong.

It IS true that Heath signed virtually everything he ever did. . .more so than Kubert for that matter. The poses of the figures AND the crosshatching on the tank are the giveaways. Kubert just didn't make longshot figures like that.
