Owner's Description

"The Man Who Couldn't Drown";. Cover re-imagined from issue #68 by Joe Kubert. Original cover artist unknown.
Did Joe do the cover justice? The original shows a ticker tape, instead of the computer readout, it also shows all of the scientist in the foreground's body, and our protagonist is better dressed in the original, sporting a tie and cuffed trousers. I think Joe's draftsmanship is better, more engaging, and having the partial body in the foreground is better than the original - but the scientific equipment and the background color, and the protagonist in his giant glass jar are better in the original.
I don't have to guess if I would have spent my hard earned 25 cents on this book to buy it from the spinner rack as a young man, because I know I did - so I guess you can say that the cover did its job.
