Action Comics #29?

Is this the interior for an Action Comics #29?

Additionally, I need some scans of the interior side of the covers for Action #29 (if this is the correct interior) & #25 for a cover recreation I am working on.

 

Please PM me if you can provide them. I am willing to work out some cover recreation work in trade.

 

Thanks.

I could have phrased it better, All I mean is that Shuster, while good, was loose especially at first. Everything looked sketchy and untrained. And, reading the Joanne Siegel lawsute files, I learned that DC was constantly complaining to Jerry Siegel that his artists was slow, unprofessional, sloppy, and made Lois too sexy! They kept threatening to replace him, or fire them if Jerry couldnt get their act together. True story.

 

So seeing this journeyman work reads to me as DC getting to protecting "their" property by bringing in artists so soon by issue 29.

Just joking dude, Some of Shusters covers were great and some so so that is no doubt. I think 1, 13, 17, 19, 20, 21, and 22 are great covers and 7 and 10 are alright.... as for the legal issues, its part of history now.

I thought the strip was done by Jack Burnley for a while.

This should be an interesting game. Name the Superman artist? It should also be easy since the GCD has all of them listed. I think they started off looking like Shuster but then each artist's style became more apparent. Sorry for the limited selection. I only have a few issues below Action 30.
