There's definitely no "Laziness" in ANY of those covers.  There's SO much detail.

I actually passed this up once because the art was so bad...and really cheap because the art was bad 

Whoops...

I realized a little later I was actually referring to Tales of Horror 8...

My bad.

The art might not be the best on TOH8 but it's a pretty dramatic cover.  I like it.

There was a short box of low grade PCH, all half-off...and I would go through and pick out a couple every time I went. I debated the snake cover but decided to go for something with a skull...

It was a mistake to pass it by, but the cover, while cool in design, is not exactly masterfully done. I still wish I bought it.

Wow... that's strikingly similar.... but I don't know if it's a steal.  What year is Modern Boy from?

1936

Did Simon and Kirby borrow from Schomburg? 
 

Cap 3’s cover (a book for which S & K did the interior -script and art) predated their subsequent illustration in a Marvel pulp by 6 months . . .

Swipe or copy?

Looks like the same image and same artist, so “copy” gets my vote

Both are Street & Smith publications, so it's just an in-house re-use of George Rozen's art.

Moldoff reuse. With or without a kick to the jewels.

Same year, but the Police Comic came many months before the Horror comic.

Cap pose looks an awful like Capt Freedom pose

Hilarious, and the Reed Crandall Police Comics is the cheaper book. Non-PCH. And the guy's gun turns into a spilled drink.
