I usually think Don Heck is underrated, and he did do some very nice Flash covers for DC, but he and another Marvel exile, the notorious Vince Colletta produced a real mess of foreshortening with this DC romance cover. It looks a bit like a fever dream.

Nice to know my cover isn't the only one with Zorak on it!

He got a bit of a makeover for the toy-line, kept the skin color and creepy attitude though.
Great cover by the way, was a nice surprise to see Sienkiewicz take on vintage HB property Spaceghost.
I think he did a Galaxy Trio for Future Quest too, (and way back a Johny Quest for Comico) would have love to have seen his take on Herculoids.

Cool! I hadn't heard of that Zorak before.
If I ever get money again, I may have to pick up some of those Hanna Barbera comics. The Herculoids are awesome. Certainly some of my favorites. Sienkiewicz did an ALF cover. I don't think anything he illustrates would surprise me after that. :)
Truly my favorite Crossgen, the one I most miss.

I keep hoping it will come back one day.

I am going to take this literally and pick a cover that a Marvel Giant did after leaving the book that brought him fame.
Ditko goes to DC

Enjoy the cover, but I am not able to be online next week, so votes would be wasted.

That's some weird perspective going on within that cover.

LOL! I think there was a quick-change construction worker outfit too!
Truth is Mattel & Kirby's designed Wolf P.A.C.K came first, although I wouldn't be surprised if Village People were in fact somewhat inspired by these exaggerated "Macho Men " There is more than enough subtext LOL. ; )
At the time you probably couldn't open a comic without seeing the ad-

One must award bonus points for that sweet gun that only seems to show a bigger picture of Big Jim.
