Credits: Cover: L. B. Cole. Art: Max Elkan?, Rudy Palais.Cole on a Roll: "There is a kaleidoscopic brilliance to the work of L.B. Cole, a master cover designer for minor comic book companies (including his own) whose work blossomed forth on American newsstands from the 1940s through the 1960s.... L.B. Cole's covers consistently rank among the weirdest, most bizarre, most eye-catching of all time." – Bill Schelly, "Fever Dreams in Four-Color Form," Black Light: The World of L.B. Cole. Fantagraphics: 2015, p. 7.______________________________________________________________
