Are these cover layouts by Cockrum or Romita?

[Ferran Delgado]

What do you think?

I don't think it's Romita

It says 'Geo Perez' in the margin - for the SVTU #15, which George Perez is credited for the cover art, which looks eactly like the top prelim. Are you wondering if someone else sketched the idea and Perez re-created it for the final version?

 

Not sure about the bottom one, don't have time to look that one up.

Red Skull's left arm reeks Cockrum on the SVTU, not as sure on the second.

Both prelims were sold like if they were done by Romita, who used to sketch covers at the age like Dave Cockrum (after he left for first time the X-Men) or Ed Hannigan. None of them were credited for this job, like Marie Severin in the Silver Age.

 

I think that both were done by Cockrum.

 

Just check out the following sample, Dave's prelim vs Kane's drawing...

More samples of prelims by Cockrum from Alter ego #78. Notice that the prelim for the X-Men #112 cover has also the George Pérez's name on it, who drew the published cover.

One of my favorite covers, never knew Gil worked from other artists layouts, his stuff was so uniquely Gil Kane
