Was looking at this cover and trying to find information on it...unless my research skills are truly that bad, I cannot find any notes anywhere on who did the cover. The zebras look very much like zebras LB Cole would draw but he usually has his signature somewhere on the page which is why I am at a loss. Any thoughts?  |

I don't think it's Cole--I don't know that he ever worked for Fawcett. It is, however, the last Nyoka cover before a run of exceedingly well-executed photo covers:  |

He was great at depicting wildlife (as his years drawing Wambi, Jungle Boy for Fiction House proved) and the bails-Ware Who's Who site credits him with working on the Nyoka book in '49. Cheesecake wasn't usually his forte, so it's possible the girl was drawn by someone else. I'd have to download the scan and look at it up close, though, to say anything more definitive.
Cei-U! I summon the educated guess!

I wonder if Pete Costanza was working there then? I might even imagine the figure being lifted from something as the arm gestures don't seem to mean anything or particularly fit this scene.

Costanza was then C. C. Beck's partner in the studio that provided the art for much of Fawcett's super-hero and adventure line (and virtually all the Marvel Family material) so, yes, it's entirely possible that he drew the Nyoka figure and maybe even the entire cover. Don't know that it is him, but it's possible.
Cei-U! I summon the bona fides!
