The TV title The Beverly Hillbillies is the fourth longest-running title after Combat, Ghost Stories, and Alvin for Dell following its split with Western Publishing. All covers are photos except for #10 by Gene Colan (as noted in the GCD). #18 is the only issue with three individual stories; other issues may include chapter titles in multi-part stories.
I'd hazard that the one-page inside-cover stories in the early issues, that I haven't listed, were all written by Arneson; the art anomaly among them is that the IFC to #3 was drawn by Fraccio and Tallarico, not the main story's Henry Scarpelli.
#19-21 (inevitably, as Dell limps into the early Seventies) reprint #1-3.

I've never seen that Colan cover before. I wonder if someone else drew the robot, though. It doesn't look like Colan's style. Granny's face may also have been altered a bit as well.
ReplyDeleteNick, Colan was stuck with Henry Scarpelli's design of the robot; I don't know how much of his style he could impose on it. Whether there was some inker involved is a good question, although the background three figures strike me as full Colan art. On his interior work for Dell, on Burke's Law and Ben Casey, he inked himself.
