Im thinking subliminal advertising here...

 

...take Marvel calling the devouring monster "The Thing" and combine it with issue #2, (the aliens with interestingly looking orange colored rock skin)...FF was out at that time, right!

In the movie, the chimpanzees were anti-war and set up a protest when the Gorillas were off to conquer the Forbidden Zone. Very late 60ish...

What!!

 

You mean "ape" was protesting "ape" that's just not ape-ish.

 

Opposable thumbs are a curse I tell you...A Curse!

[Aman619]

the swipe is from Tales of the Unexpected #1

 

of course you are correct! way to go.

[Aman619]

Yeah... know it's Silver Age but I love this Ditko cover....

Jack Starling I think.....

the rough inking does look Ditko-ey, but dont think so...

[Zonker]

I was going to guess Starling as well...but I thought he started drawing for DC later. Maybe Bob Brown? (Off to check GCD)...

[awe4one]

My bad.....it's apparently Sparling......I still like it though!

 

Jim

[Zonker]

It is a very cool cover Jim, one I've not seen before!

 

Yes, aman619 nailed it, Jack Sparling. Apparently he was doing work for DC as early as 1965. HoM 152 looks like his first for that title.

[RedRaven]

 

That cover reminds me of a very unsettling scene from a movie called 'Naked Lunch' ........ Really unsettling.

Was the movie that good that it warranted a comic?

 

I used to know a guy who was so smitten by all things "Logan's Run" that he named his first boy "Logan."
