Whew, I knew that there was something off about that SHE-HULK #50 cover - she looks like she had lip-filler to put Angelina Jolie to shame.
Here's the actual cover:

I remembered the She-Hulk cover being based on the cover of a novel, bit couldn't remember exactly which novel, so I withheld comment.

Me too, only I withheld my comment slightly before you withheld yours. ;-)

Mark: "...50 years later and I still have never seen a copy of this!..."
I've had that issue a few times, both as a collector and as a comic shop owner. The inking by Rudy Nebres renders JB's pencils nearly unrecognizable. Nebres was talented, but overwhelming with the inks, and not really a good fit for JB's style,
Mark: "...I withheld my comment slightly before you withheld yours. ;-) ..."
LOL! I dunno... I saw JB's post pretty early on. Heh.

I do have that GS Dracula. Found it in a $1 comic box some 10 years ago. Happy half century! Which is totally crazy, March of '75 is when I bought my first comic!

I have it, too - bought on Ebay over 20 years ago. Outside of maybe one panel if you squint hard enough, you'd never know that it was JB, given the extremely heavy hand from the inker.

("50 years ago" is officially scary to me... my earliest memories kick-in around late '74/early '75, so I was probably sitting on the living room floor on some Saturday morning in March 1975, watching the animated STAR TREK on a black & white TV. And my earliest form of comic collecting wouldn't start until roughly a year later!)
Congratulations, JB, on such an outstanding milestone, and one heck of a career, to boot! Someday I'll nab that DRACULA issue...!

My curse! Because my pencils were so tight, the mantra arose in the Office: anybody can ink Byrne.

That almost sounds like it's some kind of put-down. Was it good or bad to have that reputation?
