Is the cover artist / painter Robert McGinnis?

A letdown after the first issue with a much more juvenile story and conventional teen romance comic tropes. Same character as the first book, but no continuity and just about all the shadings and complexities gone. Even the art isn’t as attractive, especially with all the female characters displaying giraffe necks. I loved the first issue, but I bailed on this one before the halfway mark. Oh well. |

Curious bit of censorship on page 12. Bikinis were fairly new at the time. Cynthia wears a Bikini and causes a sensation, but the artist can't draw the bikini. We just get a head and shoulders. Some of the other depictions of females are not prudish. Was a Bikini prohibited via the comics code or Dell's in-house code? |
