Its out of my hands obviously, but you deserve a much coveted SteveDoesComics no-prize for that. <br />I recall reading somewhere that Wood got a higher page rate than the other Marvel artists too - like an extra $5 - because... well, because he was Wally Wood. Daredevil #5 was, what,'64, maybe '65? Surely that must be the earliest cover credit.<br /><br />Btw, not sure what was the first appearance of the SezDez cover format - Marvel Super Special #10 maybe? - but we've definitely seen it in earlier Lucky Bags, even before the feature covered Tomb of Dracula #1.<br /> <br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-36746262116092717982020-02-11T21:25:30.706+00:002020-02-11T21:25:30.706+00:00That's a great question from Sean.

But no mention of Jack being the artist.<br /><br />But I'm here to claim a no prize. I have the answer. I think Wally Wood may be the first artist to be credited on a cover.
