"Heros the Spartan" artwork used elsewhere!

 

Eagle 25 May 1963 (Vol.14:21) Original Art
My good friend Diego Cordoba mentioned, before Christmas, that he thought the wolf's head in "Heros The Spartan" looked familiar. So I thought I'd record here, Diego's discoveries!

Creepy #52 (April 1973) art by Sanjulian
On the cover of  Warren magazine Creepy #52 ( April 1973) we see a painting by Sanjulian which accompanies the internal story "A Most Private Terror".

The story, drawn by Esteban Maroto opens with the self-same wolf figure! No other similar artwork to Bellamy appears in the story, I checked!

Interestingly Diego says "I have also seen that same wolf on the cover of a Horror DC comic, but don't remember which." - I went searching and saw wolves on many of the DC horror comics (House of Mystery #224 and 227 as examples) but didn't find any like the Bellamy original. If YOU know which one Diego is remembering I'd love to know.
