Portraits

Illustration  on  Cover, Front
Credits
Letterer(s): typeset
Subject Matter
Genres: humorous
Character(s): Fred Flintstone; Wilma Flintstone; Barney Rubble
Synopsis: Separate rectangular shaped character portraits of Fred Flintstone, Wilma Flintstone, and Barney Rubble displaying happy expressions - along with the "March of Comics" logo. This differs from the "floating heads" technique often used on the back cover of March of Comics in that these illustrations are NOT just of the "heads" - but head and some upper-body in "portrait style". The "March of Comics" logo runs about 2/3 of the way down the spine of the back cover.

Disclose Notes: The portraits comprise the top third of the back cover, in color. The remaining 2/3 of the back cover space is left blank to contain the name and logo of the business using the comic as a promotional item.
