That looks like Everett drew only the Venus figure.  The remainder looks nothing like him.  Maybe Brodsky?

I used to have the Okajima copy of this issue. Everett pencils & inks on Venus with Brodsky responsible for everything else.

A nice new addition to the Everett collection.

Funny, I was going to reference this issue in my last post.  Look at the detail in the background.  Just a great example of an artist at his peak.  

The point of the cover involves only the 3 figures in the foreground but he still spent time to draw dozens of individuals climbing the nets, swimming and rowing the lifeboats.  The b&w original art on this would be insanely cool.

I do think though that the smaller details in the background lend much greater power to the "story" of the three in the foreground - places their story in context.   And yes, the background details are immaculately conceived and rendered.  What has always blown me away in this cover is the fact that the facial expressions of the three in the foreground are so varied and so powerful.  An exquisite, poignant war cover.

I always liked some of these earlier Heath covers from the western genre with those panorama shots. GOD BLESS....

Cross posting from the recent precode purchases thread, came in yesterday.  Bill Everett end of Earth cover, + a story illustrated by him.  Good read for a post coder, no happy endings.
