The Fox and the Crow #79

The Crow is up to his scheming best on this 1963 DC cover, gleefully hammering a board bristling with nails directly beneath a parachuting Fox — who hasn't quite noticed the landing zone being prepared for him. The Fox floats down with cheerful obliviousness while a tiny version of the Crow waves triumphantly from the parachute above, making it clear who's been pulling the strings all along. It's a perfectly staged snapshot of the duo's one-sided rivalry that made this series such a delight throughout its run.
