Who drew the cover:  Fine, Simon or Tuska?

Simon became the primary cover artist for Fox starting that same month, but I think this is too good for him and we are looking at Lou Fine's last cover for Fox.

Agree. The cover of Weird 2 has many of the hallmarks of Lou Fine. Except for the goon with the headgear at the bottom right of the cover -- his face looks "Simon-ized" to me, a bit more cartoony. But given how crazy and bewildering this cover is (what exactly is going on here??), I wouldn't be surprised if this cover was a paste-up melange of different images from the hands of both Fine and Simon, without much regard for creating a rationally coherent scene... hm 

Disclaimer: all idle speculation!

It's certainly possible.  It does have the look of an assemblage rather than of a cohesive design of Fine covers of the prior two months (e.g. Wonderworld 11 & 12 or Mystery Men 8 & 9).  Wonderworld 13 from this same month is a decent effort by Simon so maybe he did some better than usual swiping and arranging.

Back from Sarasota, one of my favorite Fox covers.

You've definitely got good taste here. (thumbsu

I really love the combination of the red, green, and blue colors on this cover here, and from my own personal point of view, a definitive Kamen bondage classic cover image.  :cloud9:

Colors are fine, but the cleavage sold the book... ;)

Most likely that's the Aurora copy.

I picked it up from James Payette. You’d think he would have mentioned it. Not sure where he obtained it. I take it the markings are meaning something? Aside from some dust shadows, it’s  a really well preserved copy. Aurora? Never heard of that ped.
