Cover painting is from 1962 and is by Richard Powers, who is in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. The effect makes it look like the front cover is torn, and the story is an exploding atomic bomb of action:

Wow, how the heck did Gold Key ever get James Bama to do a cover for them?

 

That's awesome.

I believe this painting was for a Doc Savage paperback book cover that GK somehow got to use on this comic.

I unfortunately don't have any pics, and there is nothing memorable about these covers as far as action or scenery, but I always remember being very impressed with some of the covers of an old Aircel comic Warlock 5. Issues 2 through 6 had some incredible artwork (at least in my opnion).

 

EDIT: I went and found some pics of the covers:

 

 

How did that get by me?

 

When I was re-reading this series two years ago, I said the same thing about the first five covers. Amazing work, and the first twelve books are a fantastic foundation to some interesting characters. Then the creative team left Aircel, and BB took over.

I know you're a big Dave Stevens fan. I've really come to appreciate his art due to more exposure to his work on the Boards and I love this cover!

I had never seen this cover before, but I love it. Richard Powers also did the cover for Starstream #1, which I no longer own (although I hope to rectify that situation as soon as I can find a 9.8 white-pager).
