Due to the overwhelming response by absolutely no one, I'm going to put up a few more great L.B. Cole comic book covers (well it is my blog after all, and I think they are cool, so bear with me I guess). Star Publications did a whole line of kiddie comics which included a number of Christmas covers. Cole's rendition of Santa Claus invariably looked as if the jolly old fellow had jollied himself up a bit too much, maybe with a bottle of Christian Brothers' brandy. Honestly he reminds me a bit of my dear and departed old Uncle Harold. So maybe it's just me. Cole also had a penchant for Satan covers and did a number of them - two are shown here. The Mask Comics cover is considered a true classic and was produced in 1945 for a different publisher (this was before Star existed as a comic book company). Again, you can click on the individual images to enlarge them. Thanks for looking.
