Tales of the Unexpected No. 10 Cover by Mort Meskin
A prolific and skilled artist working in comics Golden and Silver ages, Mort Meskin eventually left comics for agency work in illustration and storyboarding.
And it’s a shame that his work has not remained prominent with younger generations of readers as the work of some of his contemporaries has. Here’s a nice example cover dated February 1957.
New colour by me.
As published.
Original art scan from Heritage Auctions.
Art cleaned up and made production ready.
