Speaking of kids. Kids in Peril are a likely editorial-induced theme on all these covers. The funny thing is, the covers often reflect a story in that issue sans the kids. #181 does have a story about a mummy in it, but no little kids. There is a big green lizard monster in #180, but it doesn't threaten any kids. I'm guessing that someone at DC thought this would make them more appealing to youngsters.

I've always liked Neal's non superhero DC covers more. These are just AWESOME! Why DC doesn't publish a collection of Neal's covers is beyond me!
I believe I read somewhere online that those kids were based on Neal Adams' own kids.
