These covers are impossible!!! If people can do hat, why diesn't every comic book look like this?!?!?
   By
Painted covers aren't unheard of, but few publishers in those days stuck to it as a policy like Dell did (but of course, that only applied to certain adventure titles, not to animated and comedic comic books) -- but of course these decisions were made editorially by Western Publishing -- and when Western split from Dell in the early 1960s and re-branded themselves as Gold Key, they maintained the painted cover policy on adventure titles right into the 1970s. Ziff-Davis was another company that had amazing painted covers on its comics. Dell's distribution was better than anyone else's in the 1950s, and they sold more comics as a publisher than just about anyone else. They knew that the cover was the most important tool in selling copies, so they were willing to spend a little extra for a painted cover rather than one with simple colored line art. What's *really* impossible is that Dell gave you a single continuous 34-page story that ran from Page 1 all the way to the back cover -- with no interruptions or advertising. VERY few other publishers gave you so much for one thin dime. Maybe Fawcett, on certain titles.

Well, up until the "divorce" in 1962 Dell mainly just put up the money and decided how many of what books a year to publish. It was the folks at Western Publishing who actually made the comics and decisions on what the comics would look like.
