My two favorites of this 'genre' of cover art...and it never dawned on me until just now how much one pays homage to the other...   |

I generally don't like multi-panel covers, the exceptions being many of the pre-hero Atlas books. I hate that Detective #327 has one.

I love FF #17. Those goofy balloons following Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny around and embarrassing them at awkward moments in public? Awesome Silver Age insanity! Doom could be a bit puckish at times in the early days.

Phil Maurice,
Thanks for posting the cover to Marvel Tales #116! I've never seen it before. Joe Maneely was incredible. I used to have Yellow Claw #1 and I would just stare at the Maneely art and turn the pages very slowly.

I think one of the strengths of multi-panel covers is that there aren't that many of them. They aren't "rare," but most covers do not go that route, so it's nice to see some variety. I love those split covers that they did for a few months in the mid-1960s for Tales of Suspense, Tales to Astonish and Strange Tales, but I probably wouldn't like them if they did it for years and years.
I just thought of perhaps the most famous multi-panel cover of all - Tales of Suspense #39!

Phil Maurice, Thanks for posting the cover to Marvel Tales #116! I've never seen it before. Joe Maneely was incredible. I used to have Yellow Claw #1 and I would just stare at the Maneely art and turn the pages very slowly. Yellow Claw, eh? That rings a bell. That first issue was scripted by Feldstein, his only work for Stan Lee, and it's a doozy. The hatching and cross-hatching style that Maneely uses, seemingly comprised of thousands of tiny lines gives his work an unmistakable texture. Sadly, he passes on before the Marvel Age, leaving his only superhero work a couple of Sub-Mariner covers for Atlas. |

I had no idea Feldstein wrote Yellow Claw #1. He just gets more and more amazing. We should probably have a thread for him because he died a few days before Dick Ayers.

First "panel" cover I ever saw and got as a kid was this Spidey book....  I really liked the webdisgn as the panel borders and all the hints of what would happen inside. I had to find out who was strangling Spidey with metal hands.... -M |

It reads like one of his Crime Suspenstories; it's very wordy. I don't think Feldstein was a good fit at Atlas/Marvel, tho many of his EC/MAD peers found work there. Most famously, Wally Wood, but also Dave Berg, Jack Davis, Al Williamson and others. Johnny Craig had a decent run on Iron Man in the mid-sixties.
I'm not aware of any of those folks seeking work at National, but that doesn't mean they didn't. I can see some of the EC people contributing to DCs sci-fi titles.

I had to find out who was strangling Spidey with metal hands....-M Don't understand your confusion. The answer is given TWICE right on the cover.  Great Spidey tale. Love that era of the web-spinner. |

I've read it before. It was one of my first issues of Spidey when I started reading comics. Sal Buscema art! Looking forward to reading it again after so many years. |

John Severin. Johnny Craig did some DC House of Mystery or Secrets.A whole bunch did DC work before going to EC like Frazetta,Kubert and Dave Berg |
