Random Reads: "Hands Across the Water, Hands Across the Sky..." Everett, Gerber, and Kweskin

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Today's feature is from Sub-Mariner #58 (November 1972), and it's a doozy. The cover (by Gil Kane and Bill Everett--who did what? Pretty sure it's mostly Kane pencils with Everett inks--but Subby looks very, very Everett...) grabbed my attention right off, but the title, "Hands Across the Water, Hands Across the Sky..."intrigued me to no end (did writer Steve Gerber dig Paul McCartney?). Plus, I was a bit smitten by the orange alien amphibian Tamara (what fan-of-females wasn't smitten by Everett's elegant ladies?) ...so 20 cents later I was in the car reading this Bill Everett/Steve Gerber (with Sam Kweskin layouts) page-turner...hope you dig it!
