Very cool. Although I’ve seen that book before, I’ve never noticed that. Could Wally Wood have the most appearances in GA comics?

Anybody got a raw copy of Weird Science #22 with the Wally Wood "My World" story?

Thanks for those Eric! I was hoping someone out there would think of the Panic #1.

OK, here is another one. Justice Traps the Guilty #56. The "line up" portrays a group of creators. I can't remember them all but Joe Simon is second from the left and down on the end is Jack Kirby. Mort Meskin is in the center I believe. Can some one identify them all?

OK, pawing through my Weird Science #12 (#1) I ran into this story. Early Wood story intitled "The Dreams of Doom" features Bill Gains (known as "Gill Baines") and the staff of EC. EC seems to be the most prominent user of their staff in stories.

Here's a revelation for Robot Man...Hank Ketchum drew himself as Dennis' dad in Dennis the Menace.  In fact, Dennis looked like his own son "Dennis Ketchum"...so, I think he is probably the artist/writer that appeared more in comics than any other...

Never seen that one. Looks like just pre-code when all the publishers were trying to stay afloat amid the comics uproar. Thanks Marty!

Joe & Norm drew themselves in most issues of Tor, iirc.
