Cool Comic Cover: Russ Heath UNCANNY TALES #48




From Atlas Comics in 1956 comes this surprisingly different comic book cover by Russ Heath. This is unlike any other comic cover from the period. Most are overloaded with detail and copy. This simple, strong graphic is a knockout!

I 'm pretty sure that's about half Kirby

The Meskin story? His stuff can look a lot like SImon/Kirby -- but I think it's all Mort.

The Meskin is what I was thinking was Kirby.
