Everett cover: a guy floats thru the air as apartment dwellers gawk from their tenement windows. Eagle-eyed readers will spot Bill Everett's self-portrait at his easel in the second window from the bottom left. The window directly above Bill's shows a voyeur's-eye view of two startled cuties wearing tight tops and short shorts, one of whom has her hand on the other's waist. Was Everett trying to sneak sapphic scenarios past Comics Code censors?
