The Creeper #1 Cover by Steve Ditko

Even my beat copy looks good (well, sorta....if you squint and turn your head just right)

    You'll note the story title on the cover is "Where Lurks the MENACE!", even though the villain's name is "The Terror".
    Why?
    Because, at that time, the Comics Code forbade the use of the word "terror" in ANY form (even captions and word baloons) on covers.

    Once again, I appreciate all your great insights!... Many peculiarities with da Code
