Wow, artist-palooza there. Pretty wide range of art there, from the Silver Age slick Swan Superman to the old-school cartoony Moldoff Batman, to Kubert's gritty Sgt. Rock. Hard to believe one company published such a wide range of styles. Pretty jarring really!
I like how they added the oval to the older Batman drawings chest!

i gotta say, i reeeeally hate the Sheldon Moldoff Batman. ugh!
Gotta second you, Rob.
When I got old enough to differentiate Golden Age artists, I started to notice that most of the BatArt I DIDN'T like was Moldoff's.
My fave is probably Jerry Robinson; the best FakeKane for me is probably Lou Sayre Swartz; and I've even come to appreciate Dick Sprang's wackiness.
(Hey waitaminute... if Moldoff's art is "the worst" of the bunch, maybe that DOES make it the most Kane-faithful!)
Great weekend,

Gotta love classic Moldoff Batman! Oh, for the days when Batman was fun. Now he's just portrayed as an utter A-hole.
