Another GA Artist Passes - J.R. Sr. 0

Who said there were no superheroes in the 50s? I think this was J.R. Sr.'s first cover:

He was a damn fine penciller back in the Atlas era.

The art was good enough that somebody decided to swipe it for this Ajax PL! I guess the Ajax artist was too lazy to draw the octopuses, though, and went with what I guess is supposed to be a shark.

What bugs me is that the character hanging over the water hole has been eliminated and replaced by a speech bubble, so the PL cover doesn't quite make sense. PL isn't rescuing anybody; I guess she just decided to go out and massacre some Russians.

Now that is a comprehensive swipe!  Any chance he swiped himself?

I never knew that the PL cover is a copy of a Captain America cover!

I doubt it, but I have no idea who did the PL cover.
