That's funny, because that phrase was on my bingo card. "Man dies in reflecting pool" and I'll have bingo

Oops. Byrne did the art (pencils and covers), but Joe Gill was the writer. First "big thing" Byrne worked on.

Doomsday+1 #5, Mar 1975
Cover: John Byrne (signed, nice and big and legible)

John did most of the art and writing for this series. There were technically 12 issues, but the last 6 just reprint the first 6 a few years later, with, near as I can tell, same covers maybe retouched or re-colored.

I'm missing something on that third cover. Is she wanting to make sure Oogie isn't kept after school with the sexy teacher? Or does she herself want to stay after with the sexy teacher, without Oogie?

Could have been Pat Sullivan, as he does some of the Felix the Cat interiors, but I didn't find any specific info. The "Terry and the Pirates" head-shot is most likely by Milton Caniff
