The scan doesn't do this book justice, the inks still look wet when you hold this in your hand :

There are many examples where one did the pencils and the other did the inks on the cover - an early example is Strange Tales 75 from 6/60 where Kirby did pencils and Ditko did inks. This continues until the evolution of the PHM titles to the superhero content.

One cool book !
