Pretty obvious that was traced from a photo of someone diving or something but the artist didnt know how to deal with shading and other issues to make it look right.  You cant just trace an image there is much more to it.

Who cares about shading when... those legs! That's not how anatomy or perspective or anything works, and doesn't match the reflection either.

With a lower lip like that the Thing can set cheetos on it and eat them at his leisure.

Too simian.

Is that a Shel Silverstein reference?  If you're unfamiliar with the Giving Tree, it's an award winning children's book that probably gave many of them nightmares due to the author's huge, menacing grimace looking back at them when they were read a bed time story.

On this rather jolly cover, once you've finished wondering from where Spidey's webbing would be coming were you to continue to plot it in the straight line beyond his hand, and why that same webbing seems to get thicker as it travels back into the distance to the tower...

....your attention is immediately drawn to the Thing.

Must have been kid's day at the Marvel offices.  Bring your kid to work and let them draw or write.

That would have been a fairly solid horror cover, especially for Charlton. All they had to do was NOT add the cartoony speech balloon...

You're right, they did misspell SH*******T!!
