I remember those ads. Apparently they "prettied" Jonah up! Relatively speaking, of course!
I always wondered if Two-Face had any influence on Hex, if any character ever did!

The first depiction of the face of Jonah Hex. From the Dial B for Blog site.
Joe Orlando, in this interview, says his appearance was originally supposed to be used to dramatise our dual nature. He mentions Two-Face as a similar character.
I have a theory Two-Face's appearance was inspired by Boris Karloff's character in The Raven (1935), particularly as depicted on the movie posters. Wikipedia's article on Two-Face suggests his origin derives from the second pulp Black Bat's. Apparently he posed as a blind man and could see in the dark. That reminds me of Dr. Mid-Nite, who was actually blind in normal light without his goggles, but could see in the dark.
I'm reading Planet Comics #11. In the "Flint Baker" story the robots of Mars, which do all the manual labour, revolt against the Martians and take over the planet. It's a so-so story but there's a really nice panel showing one of the robots after the takeover casually lounging on a couch.

Dracula, Sovereign of the Damned. "At this point, the movie becomes sort of like what Arthur 2: On the Rocks might have been if Dudley Moore had been Dracula."
