how could I have forgotten this one, the comic book issue I have owned the longest:

ha, i like the interthread communication there

the "now you're going to pay!" could be an entirely new thread

this is not really the same thing, but I like it when 60s marvel books have a final panel in which the hero ruminates on his own failings, and sad Iron Man is just killing me

haha that's great

squats go with introspective thinking

i feel like there's 200 of those with spider man

Now I'm imagining 98% of these covers with Scalia and/or John Roberts photoshopped in.

slight variation

i'll allow it

Young Giffen doing a pretty good Neal Adams impression there.

Can't see a great deal of Adams there myself, and at this stage of his career Giffen was generally more of a Kirby Kopyist (though it's true that throughout the 70s Marvel encouraged their artists to 'emulate' Kirby, while DC encouraged their artists to 'emulate' Adams.)

i can see adams in it, but looks a bit more like joe kubert to me

Well the inker, John Celardo, was an old newspaper strip hand who took over the Green Beret comic strip from... Joe Kubert, so I think that might account for the similarity, more than Giffen's pencils.

close enough

wow, that Hawk & Dove cover is great. went to GCD to see who inked it, and they have it as Ditko, which surely can't be right?

(I agree with their assessment of Gaspar for letters, and the logo looks like him too - wonder if the overall design came from Ditko, Gaspar, or someone inhouse)

That looks like a Ditko to me.

did Ditko not ink his own stuff?

he usually inked his interiors, but the drapery and black-spotting on that cover look more fluid and shadowy than he tended to do, and the varying lineweight on Dove and the top heads is a heavier brush than I think of him doing.

I'm no expert though, and have only seen his stuff in non-reprint form from the 1980s on.

hmm, just saw it full-size at Spurge's, and the inking on the "Don" legs is totally Ditko's shading style

I had no idea that Hawk & Dove went back that far!

They were in Showcase first.
