Eisenberg did lots of Flintstones work, but these covers aren't his. They're the work of Peter Alvarado. Note on Fred, especially on the front cover, how the drawing suggests eyelashes at the top of the eyes with a slight straight line where normally the oval's curvature would continue, and the parallel eyebrow above. That's an Alvarado "tell." So's the way he treats hands, though the evidence isn't quite so stark on the small hands of Wilma as it would be on Fred's open palms if he weren't gripping the wheel
Boy Fred loves to destroy that car!
ReplyDeleteThese covers were drawn by the legendary Harvey Eisenberg (the "Carl Barks from Hanna-Barbera").
