EGO'S FIRST COVER APPEARANCE WAS ON THE RACKS.
He wouldn't appear on another cover for 28 months. Like this one, it would also be for THOR and rendered by Kirby and Colletta.

Kirby's 5th cover (his first one appeared 3 months earlier) went on sale. It was his second bondage cover.
His first cover would have already been pulled from the racks and returned since it was cover-dated July 1940. That means that there would have been four different Kirby covers on display - just like the previous month!
