I just looked at tons of Charlton books as I thought it was a Ditko cover and he did not do THAT much work pre-SA, but I am drawing a blank.

Yeah the image struck me as Ditko-esque as well, and my first thought was also one of the Chalrton horror covers, but I guess it was a lousy first impression. -M |

You guys are on the right track.. it IS Charlton, it isn't Ditko. It is a famous name, though... a little after the Ditko Charlton stuff... just barely pre-silver age  |

My other guess was Dick Giordano (I was thinking maybe inking over Ditko).

Cover date for that is Nov 1962 which is not pre-Silver Age, considering Showcase 4 which introduced Barry Allen was cover-dated Sept-Oct 1956 and Fantastic Four #1 was cover dated November 1961, so the clue was a red herring  So I am filing an "official protest" in triplicate for the contest organizer of this game to lose his classic credibility certification for 30 days  -mockly outraged MRP! |

Yes, well, seem at the time (that is, in Nov. 1962) they didn't know it was the silver age yet... it's only in hindsight that we know that. Also, I could argue that the early FF was really just another Monster book, and it's really Amazing Fantasy #15 that started the silver age... which was August 1962 thus very close. Or, I could just tell you I had 1952 in my head as the pub date (obviously wrong), when I typed the clue... you can take whichever excuse you prefer |

In light of MRP's protest, I decided to go ahead and hit Paint....  Patriotic! (identity changed to protect the innocent) |
