I, and I suspect most people, had no idea that Nick Cardy was actually responsible for this cover! Thanks for stopping by and setting the record straight. I certainly appreciate it!

Stan saw it and had Romita do a line-drawing paste-over. Then Stan had John sign it, saying it might sell better with John’s name on it. John was so embarrassed, he apologized to Nick repeatedly.
