This cover is interesting for several reasons. First, Jules Bacon autographed it at least two years
after its publication in 1941 because he wasn't Mr. America until 1943. The other guy looks
a bit like Steve Reeves, but he has been identified as Constantine Kosiris. And although
there is a very similar full nude photo, I have not been able to find an exact nude match,
leading me to think that the trunks were probably not drawn on as was often
the case with other Al Urban covers.
