Oh, statted
Corner, right side, down
The cover's ink Ray Kryssing

The Sal Buscema's the highlight
Love darts in your eyes

'Til you realize
Sal's magic in your eyes

I got a Mo-O too
She's a Mo-Fo too

I wonder if Jordan or Askani'Son have ever heard of Mo'O, the mythological Hawaiian lizard spirit. Maybe one of them will see this and chime in. Giving credit where it's due, although he never seemd to be able to handle Grummett's pencils particularly well, his inks were far better suited to Sal Buscema's pencils, as this example shows. I would've liked to have seen what he could've done over Sal's work at Marvel.

Oh, I believe that she's based on an actual mythological Hawaiian lizard spirit. I'm just wondering if it's something really obscure that even most native Hawaiians don't know about or if something that's commonly known by people born and raised there.
