I really liked this issue as a kid.  The story is about a comic artist, who looks just like Jack Kirby, whose drawings come to life (sound familiar?).  The attached photo isn't my personal copy.  I grabbed it off of myslabbedcomics.com

I never noticed that turd looking imp before.  Now every time I look at the cover, my eyes go straight to it.  Argggh!   It reminds of this time an eBay seller said Ben Grimm looked like George Cloony on the cover of FF #30.  Now I can’t unsee it.

This is the nicest 5.5 in my collection

I ruined one of a boardie’s favorite PHM covers by pointing something like that out to him once. Now I keep that stuff to myself.

Jasonmorris, that 5.5 is just spectacular -- congrats!  I love copies whose eye appear is miles ahead of the grade; always makes me feel like I'm getting a huge bargain, even in our current world of wacky prices.

Here’s one super villain that hasn’t aged well.  He later became Mesothelioma-Man

[KirbyJack]

He only wore that getup this issue; poor Johnny was surrounded by asbestos from 1961 to whenever they decided to retcon away the mistake.

 I’m guessing the Byrne run?

Well, it's the first silver appearance of his uniform at least. Kinda prototype issue.
