Classic cover by Alden McWilliams.
   By crashryan
A comparison to the covers for #s 378 and 400 (the later signed by McWilliams) shows clearly that this cover isn't Alden McWilliams' work. Neither are any of the rest of the series covers, even though the GCDB gives A McW a blanket credit for the entire run.
