A Russ Heath gem:

Another cover that I like very much.

 

 

AtlasT: Is this Burgos?

Mystery Tales # 1 -

[Scrooge]

Mystic # 7 -

I'm 99% certain this is not Burgos, but I cannot attribute it with any certainty. Norman Steinberg???

here's a few more, cover artist id's are welcome

I can see that as Steinberg -- but I'm no Steinberg expert.

On most Atlas covers with a triptych on the left of the cover, the 3 panels are by the same artist who did the cover illustration. The skull at the top of the triptych could never be an Everett skull, nor could the girl in the bottom panel be an Everett girl. I will grant you the the main cover image is probably too good to be Brodsky; how about Sam Kweskin?

 

Ooops. Just reading this. I do agree with your concerns about the triptych art -- I've heard the same as you that the cover artist did it as well without having any info other than the titles of the stories. I'll take another look at Kweskin but the pose/art is really strong and just not something I can see Kweskin doing -- though he did occasionally turn in quite a good story.

Good point! Here's a Joe Maneely cover:

 

 

One of my all-around favorite Atlas issues!

Maneely absolutely rocks! I often wonder if he had passed away when he did, how different the silver age of Marvel comics might have been. Maneely Hulk? Spider-Man? Who knows? Wasn't he supposed to have been very fast? His imprint would have been all over the Marvel age.

Podboy and AtlasT - great, great covers!!

[AtlasT]

I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the show, Bonds25. Here's another heavy Everett:

 

[adamstrange]

one of two copies I own. AtlasT knows how cool this books is.

 

[AtlasT]

My best guess on Marvel Tales 94 and 95 is Mike Sekowsky; 104, of course, is Russ Heath.

 

By the way, 94, I think, is a tough issue, and contains a really nice Everett story (Spectacles of Doom").

[AtlasT]

Nice copy, Adam!

[AtlasT]

Journey Into Unknown Worlds 15, with a cover by Sol Brodsky,,,

 

 

 

...contains a gem by Basil Wolverton:

 

[jimm]

GREAT Wolverton page!

[adamstrange]

I think I like the interior story better than the cover.

 

Wolverton didn't do many horror stories but they're all good and a few, like the one in JIW 15, rise to the genius level.
