| I don't care who verified it, I'll eat my hat (and yours too!) if they art is by Mac Raboy. The hunchbacked murderer on the splash page screams Charles Sultan. There, someone had to say it... |
|
| K1ngcat, the credits box only gives the cover to Raboy. I'm about 70-30 in favor of Raboy; few other Fawcett artists could match those slick inks.
Speaking of the splash panel--nothing like giving away whodunit on the very first page. |
|
| Understood, crash. The lack of any art credits for the interior of the mag threw me off! Still not sure the cover is Raboy, thinking of CM Jr's realistic physique and his use of shade. The jury's still out! |
