Synopsis

Floating character heads of Fred Flintstone, Wilma Flintstone, and Betty Rubble (oddly, sans Barney Rubble) - along with the "March of Comics" logo. Wilma and Betty display happy expressions, while Fred is snarling mad.

Keywords

floating heads; repurposed art

Indexer Notes

This would appear to be repurposed Harvey Eisenberg art from either a late Dell or early Gold Key comic.

The floating heads and logo comprise the top third of the back cover, in color. The remaining 2/3 of the back cover space is left blank to contain the name and logo of the business using the comic as a promotional item.
