As an admirer of Al Feldstein’s writing style, that seems a bit lightweight to me.

like the batman TV show, made for kids but also on another level for adults.  Not many moderns appeal to kids.  LCS owner I know says kids hate comic stores.  There may be exceptions but generally he hears kids whining to dad "when are we gonna go??".

Plot Filler would be a good supervillain-he pumps people up till they are so bloated they cannot move.

That might be accurate.  But I'd rather read the 10% of moderns that aren't dreck than 100% of 1950s war comics.

If you want covers with substance my first advice would be to stop looking at super hero comics.

I don't think that substance and super heros often go together. 

I read comics and I have little patience for bad art or bad writing or kid's stuff.  I will not forgive a bad cover either.

Most of what makes me happy is modern.  I love finding good old stuff (EC Comics) but I have not run into a lot of old books that meet my standards.

I just ordered a used TPB from a series that is 100% covers with substance.  The art inside and the writing are great too:  https://imagecomics.com/comics/series/low

Here is one of the covers.  They are all this good:
