The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comics.org\/details.lasso?id=224823\">cover<\/a> is a bit of an oddity, as it&#8217;s based on the cover for what was originally the next issue, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comics.org\/details.lasso?id=21372\">ToS #94<\/a>. Same layout, but clearly redrawn with some major changes (most notably removing MODOK from the background). The updated Kirby checklist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kirbymuseum.org\/catalogue\/view.jkm?pp=3050\">lists<\/a> the cover as a Kirby\/Giacoia piece, but I don&#8217;t know about that. I doubt Kirby had anything to do with the re-drawing, and the inking doesn&#8217;t seem much like the other Giacoia of the era (including some other MDF covers not traced from older versions).<\/p>\n<p>Published 1976<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A reprint from TALES OF SUSPENSE #93 (1967), showcasing some of the great Kirby\/Sinnott artwork of the era.
