Suspense Comics #8 and Startling Terror Tales #11 - Spider with Skull face!

[*paull*]

If you're in the market for skull covers, check out some of the wonderful "grinning skeleton" covers Bill Everett did in the 1950s, scattered across a handful of different Atlas titles.

 

And the many skull covers on Farrell horror covers such as Haunted Thrills #5, #6 and #10 and Voodoo #8, #11, #14 and #15.

Love those Everett covers.

my favorite skull cover

 

Nice cover - I think L.B.Cole had sort of a thing for skulls.

 

I think you're right!

Another Spider cover sans skull head...

Nice cover! And I notice an error on it by the artist. The "spider-man" on the cover only has one arm on his right side but you can see two on the left side!

He's all screwed up!

He's got 3 legs on one side and only one on the right too but I take it as artistic license more than an error.

I believe it was done as not to block too much of the victim.

Certainly could be!
