Since @Straw-Manhas apparently been sleeping on the job (as opposed to me just being AWOL!), I thought I'd revive this thread. Slowly chipping away at the few Raboy covers I've been missing.

Is Mac Raboy the cover artist for Captain Marvel Jr 29?
The overstreet guide excludes it from their list (and yet has 32 there, which is false) and thus so does CGC.

However, in the DC database, it is said to be Raboy

https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Captain_Marvel,_Jr._Vol_1_29

 

So which is it?

I'm inclined to think it's Raboy. I believe it is right around the time he bowed out, but the fact that he did the art on the interior story linked to the cover--at least, I think he did!--makes me inclined to credit him with the cover, too.

One of the difficulties in attributing covers to Raboy is that he reused his stuff and Fawcett reused his stuff after he left. I just noticed this duplication a couple of days ago when trying to get my scans organized.

It wouldn't surprise to find the image on the newspaper is a swipe from an earlier interior panel

I have been very fond of Mac's Dynamic 9 cover since I first saw it in the Gerber guide. 

It is especially nice to find someone has posted the original art

Edit:  Mr. Tawky Tawny posted a scan of this art on the first page.  My scan has been put through a yellow filter to enhance the contrast.
