Hi Southside Bucky,

Wow! Thanks for saving me the trouble of posting those!!

The cover of Weird War Tales No. 17, with the celestial skeleton figure gripping a Spad fuselage, is definitely George Evans - as is the associated story within. One of my all-time favorite stories, just because Evans drew it. His aircraft were more detailed and accurate than Kubert's.

Kubert may have used some of George's early work for inspiration, but he has said that he used a lot of reference material from Russ Heath, a superb artist who could also draw accurate WWI aircraft. John Severin was another...
