Cover Notes
Many years back I did an interview with Heath that was run in COMIC BOOK MARKETPLACE in which we reproduced the original art to the cover of SPELLBOUND #20 in black and white. And I remember seeing the original art to this and noticed that the blond woman's breasts had been altered (reduced in size). I asked Heath about it in my interview and he said he sometimes got carried away and then Stan Lee would tell him to tone it down a little. Before he changed it, the woman looked like Dolly Parton. Even after the change, you can see she's still a very busty gal.
