Tales of the Unexpected featuring The Spectre #7 Cover by Arthur (Art) Adams

Simply an amazingly detailed cover by Arthur "Art" Adams, it must have taken days to draw all those bricks!
As shown on the published cover, editors had to make additional space on the top and extend the art to make room for the title, because Adams' art takes up the entire cover! The oversized imagery is particularly striking here and gives the piece a feel of Golden Age comics, pulps and political cartoons where heroes and villains were often depicted as larger than life. The cover shows the Spectre: one of the few entities that might be able to kick Galactus' butt, if they were ever able to meet ;-) Furthermore, I'm a great fan of dynamic covers that tell a story in just one image - like this cover, where the viewer may have an idea of what went before and what will happen in a few moments...
The piece is original cover artwork on 11" x 17" bristol board. It's signed and dated by Adams in the lower right corner. Alex Sinclair provided colors for the published cover.
