Geoffrey Biggs, THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES, (CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED # 162A) - A 'Special Issue' from Gilberton, being historically-educational about the Civil War.

  Alex Blum, THE SCOTTISH CHIEFS, (CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED # 67) - A comic adaptation of the early historical-novel portraying William Wallace by Jane Porter. Note that Blum has penned the earlier edition of this particular cover, so there's a contingent of people who do not have complete confidence that his identification for this one isn't instead some confusion with that.

  Alex Blum, UNDER TWO FLAGS, (CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED # 86) - A comic adaptation of this novel by 'Ouida' (Maria Louise Ramé).

  Stanley Borack, THE SAILOR WHO BROKE OUT OF CAMP HORROR, (STAG 1958-May) - "Book Bonus: The Sailor Who Broke Out Of Camp Horror (an amazing World War Two escape story) // City Of Lonely Women // The FBI's Death Duel With Baby Face Nelson"

  John Buscema, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, (ABRAHAM LINCOLN LIFE STORY # 1) - A Dell one-shot about the honored president. - John Buscema seems to have done all other artwork in the publication and Heritage Auctions feels the cover is his as well.

  John Buscema (only my own attribution), PRINCE VALIANT AND THE QUEST FOR GREEK FIRE, (FOUR COLOR # 699) - "He searched a war torn continent to find 'The Secret Of The Flames !'" - I think I'm going to be standing by myself here with my attribution.  When I first started gathering these cover images, I saw this one and said "Wow ! That looks like nothing so much as a Conan painting by Marvel's John Buscema."  Other people clearly had the same idea, but a very comprehensive checklist of Buscema's work does not indicate it as his.  Then a Prince Valiant researcher, in a collection, attributed it to Franco Picchioni.  I'm not sure from where he drew his certainty, but I hope it was not just that artist's later rendition of the character in a similar composition, as that could just be an artist utilizing previous art elements (of another artist's) for foreign editions of works in the same series, a not uncommon practice.  Indeed, Picchioni's other pieces just don't show me the same energy & verve that I see happening in this one.  Later when I learned that Buscema *had* done interior work for Dell/Western and that even at least one painted cover for them was attributed to him, I decided to just follow my instincts and place his name here until I'm convinced otherwise.

  George Evans, CROSS AND COCKADE, (CROSS AND COCKADE JOURNAL (date?)) - This piece reportedly adorned a cover of Cross And Cockade Journal circa 1970s (an aviation history periodical, currently called Cross And Cockade International).  It is presumed to be a depiction of that WWI Lafayette Escadrille pilot (later, film director) William Wellman, as he is featured in the publication for that particular period.

  Earl Mayan, BATAAN, (COMBAT # 3) - "The Death March of Bataan was history's most deadly parade . . . !" - At least one source has erroneously attributed this work to George Wilson, mainly due to a mis-reading of Mayan's signature.  Note that for the cover, the art had a tinted illustration of the Bataan Death March overlayed.

  Gerald McCann, THE LION OF THE NORTH, (CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED # 155) - This was an adaptation of G.A. Henty's novel of the same title.  This painting was once auctioned through Heritage as a George Wilson work (and remains archived there as such), but McCann's signature on it seems pretty clear.
