Those 2 round out my top 3 Jay.

 

Spellbound 17 Everett's largest signature...? I get the sense he really loved what he did on that cover. Signature screams pride in this cover.

If you look at how he inked it you can see that he used an extraordinary amount of feathering to create the shadows and model the forms. The original art would be a masterpiece.

I would love to see it, any idea how much of the original art for some of these Atlas masterpieces survived? Have you seen much through the years?

There was much less care taken with the Atlas art than there was of the Silver Age art, and a lot of the SA art was lost. There are surviving pieces from Heath, Everett, Maneely, Severin etc. but I haven't seen much.
