Love the Atom vs. Atom cover -- but that last Green Lantern cover does not look like Gil Kane, more like Joe Staton (but I think the design is great!)  All of these make me want to read the comics within.

Comics.org credits it to Kane and Murphy Anderson.  But Joe Staton was a great GL artist as well!

The first Kane art I remember seeing as a kid was Teen Titans #19, which was inked by Wally Wood.

Talk about a Silver Age dream team.....

I'm a huge Joe Staton fan and I never knew that!   You do learn something new every day! 

Thanks, JB!

Joe was also one of Gil's ghosts.

My first exposure to Staton was as an inker for Marvel, in The Avengers (over Sal Buscema's pencils) and in The Incredible Hulk (over Herb Trimpe).  I then tracked down some E-man comics and his Green Lantern work.

Steve Englehart's site has a brief bio of Staton, That GL cover is from 1967, which was a little early to have been done by Staton since his first credited work was some romance comics for Charlton in 1971 (but it's not totally out of the question that he worked in comics as early as 1967 - he was born in 1948).

I'm pretty sure JB was not saying Staton had a hand in that GL cover, but simply mentioning that Joe later did do work for Kane.

I do remember JB shattering some of my childhood illusions though by reporting that Joe Staton told him he ghosted the majority of Spider-Man #150 for Gil.

That's for sure, not the best artwork Kane produced for SM but still quite enjoyable
with gorgeous (always) inking by Giacoia !
