| Lots of Ditko art and Bob Powell too! GCD credits Ditko with the cover as well and it does appear to be signed (vertically, next to the woman's head--and the signature looks like the one on the cover issue 16) but it's certainly not in his recognisable style. |
|
| The cover is not all that different from Ditko's art inside. Both show that late 40s/early 50s Joe Kubert style that was an early influence on Ditko's |
