Look Here, Read: “The Frog Prince” by Richard Corben

Look Here: JUMBO COMICS #66 to #71, with cover art by Joseph Doolin
Credits for the following covers are taken from the Grand Comics Database, which attributes them all to Joe Doolin, except #70, which the folks at GCD think might be by another hand, possible Nick Cardy, while I, on the other hand, think that #69 looks suspiciously unlike Joe Doolin’s work:

And thus ends the cavalcade of Jungle Comics covers with art by Joseph Doolin here at RCN. It ended strong, I think. Anyway, if you enjoyed the show, you’ll want to watch for a couple of upcoming posts featuring Jumbo Comics covers with art by Joseph Doolin. While the main theme of the Jungle Comics covers was “damsel in distress,” the theme of the Jumbo Comics cover is more like “dudes in distress.” It’s fun stuff, folks!

The girl on the cover of Jungle Comics #85 does not look at all Doolinesqe to me. And no artist is credited at GCD. Thus, I’ve provided no artist credit in the file name.
Jungle Tales #88 is another cover that definitely looks like it is by someone other than Joe Doolin. GCD credits the cover to Ruben Moreira, and since I have no way of confirming or denying their information, I’m just going to take it as fact — although I must say, whoever the artist is, he seems to be trying very hard here to channel Frazetta.
