| Sachs inks on "Giant from Earth?" Pencils look familiar but I can't place them.
The other stories demonstrate what I've read in many interviews with GA artists: that Vince Alascia had a "slick Alex Raymond line." Yet his inks never clicked with me. Not sure just why. |

| Sachs is overwhelming here, crash, but it might be Gene Fawcette underneath him. (|:{> |
|
| This cover is a big let down and is immensely upstaged by the great interior art. If I would have seen this on the spinner way back when , I would have not bought it . That would have been my loss! |
