Description

Gato isn't exactly Palomar's most sympathetic character, but this is a lovely portrait. Also interesting how longtime readers will instantly recognize Gato, despite not having seen much of him at this age.

Thanks Mark! Even Gato deserves a moment of poetry. :)

You can see so much tight and careful detail from Gilbert despite not even filling in half the composition in this cover.

Amen. It is a notably tight drawing. Some Gilbert pages get a lot of reworking (cool in a different way) but this one seems effortless.

I'm also a sucker for this sort of composition. Figure standing before a low horizon, framed by the sky... Due respect to Wally Wood, it's a panel that always works.
