GDC states this, - 'Evidently, only Jackie Gleason gave permission for his likeness to be used in this comic; Norton (Art Carney) is seen with his face covered with bandages while Alice (Audrey Meadows) is shown only from the back. (The indicia states, "No similarity between any of the names, characters, persons and/or institutions, other than Jackie Gleason, appearing in this magazine and those of any living or dead person or institution is intended and any similarity which may exist is purely coincidental.")
What is more likely is that Gleason signed a contract for this book that excluded all the other actors in the show. The fact that the cover of #1 shows all the characters that he played in his own show would support this hypothesis.
The most interesting thing about these books is the portraits on the inside front covers. Three of them are credited to 'Frank Ryan' They are excellent. I thnk that these were images Gleason used to sign autographs on. I can't find anything on this guy in searches owing to the fact that 'Frank Ryan' seems a rather common name. I like Gleason's work, he was a genius, but he was also a master of self-promotion and his motto apparently was, as the song says. ' Don't you ever let a chance go by'.

It's also possible that the publisher balked at a licensing fee that would have covered cutting checks to all the actors for use of their images, and so settled on just paying Gleason for the use of his image alone.

One thing that sticks out here as strikingly odd is that in every panel where the Ralph Cramden character appears, he's surrounded by a VERY thick black outline that's more than unusually noticeable. None of the other characters have it.
