A Cut From a Cover

[Steve W]

Ok, here's an idea for a fun contest. I post a section from a comic cover and you guys try and guess what cover it's from.Whoever guesses correctly, gets to post a portion of a cover themselves, and we all get to guess. It's not good form to post a very tiny part of the cover, as it makes the contest too difficult.

Here's my starter - a clue is that this particular cover (like all of mine) is from the Silver-Age.

Luke & Hoy,

It looks like it might be just the three of us.

[Jeff of Earth-J]

I don't know it.

[Luke Blanchard]

1970s. The artist's signature would have given it away, though the GCD credits him with only four of the title's covers, and not with the cover of any issue he drew.

[Dave Palmer]

Actually, at first I went looking for covers by Gene Day.  Maybe I was just lucky that I got the correct series, although the martial arts fighting stance of the erased character does help.  

Jeff of Earth-J,

It's already been noted that the cover is about eight years after the end of the Silver Age.  Are those enough clues to help?

[Jeff of Earth-J]

No, I either know it or I don't.

[Dave Palmer]

I don’t want us to stall.  I don’t have a cut ready to go, so someone jump right in.

[Jeff of Earth-J]

Huh. I'm just now reading that series for the first time. But so far I'm only up to #19.

[Dave Palmer]

I hope you enjoy it.  I think it was one of the bright spots of the Bronze Age.

Master of Kung-Fu #67 is correct! The artist was Paul Gulacy.

I'll treat any American issue up to Crisis as eligible. Let's see what you gents make of this one:

1970s. You'll get a kick out of it.

I wonder if Dick Giordano had a sense of deja vu drawing the cover the cut is from.
