Disclose Notes: Reproduces covers of Blue Beetle 33, All Top 2, Green Mask volume 2 number 4 (15), Zoot Comics 1. A cover of Rocket Kelly comics is also shown, but the art does not match the covers of any published Rocket Kelly issue. It bears some resemblance to Rocket Kelly 2 (but flipped and with different details).

Inside front cover, black-and-white.
