Covering TC Artists

I've expressed my fondness for seeing Creators in their comics previously.
Let us expand that to include seeing Creators ON their comics...


How many of these folks can you identify?

Oh, sure - it's an old cover, but there are a few fairly famous names in the crowd. And, of course, it hasn't been very long since you had a look at Frank Borth, so that one should be fairly easy - right?

And, you might not know his name, but i'm willing to bet you can make a fair guess which one is the Editor.

Other famous names include one of DC's most prominent Editors (though an artist here), one of Jack Kirby's most beloved collaborators, a classic pulp artist of renown, and some familiar names from this blog (like the guy who draws The Bear).

And, Yes - if you're wondering...

I am rambling to stall and create spoiler space, because the answers are down
below.

The cover was drawn by Reed Crandall, the guy who was playing the comb before getting the trash can lids slammed over his head.

Incidentally - this was the cover to the first issue of the Draw-Along With Frank Borth series. Kind of an unfair spotting advantage, eh?
