The title logo is fine. It reeks of savagery. Everything else, though, just reeks.
First there is the werewolf. If it stood upright, it's head would be awfully tiny. And why does it look like it should have four arms? I do like the thick drool, however. I am a big fan of thick drool.
Savage himself is ordinary. If I knew nothing about the character or the title, I would know that Savage was oddly colored (bronze?), and liked to wear a vest, white pants, boots and little else. He also had weird sideburns. I would imagine he was some kind of werewolf hunter, based on what the werewolf is saying, and the fact that his name is Doc Savage.
What is stranger than the werewolf or the odd coloring of the cover, is the werewolf's prints in the snow. The footprints don't seem to resemble the werewolf's feet, they are drawn oddly, and it looks as if the werewolf was possibly hopping on one leg that those Oriental ghost vampire things. Perhaps this was part of the story. I have no idea. I never read the issue, and with this cover I never would.
One last note: How the hell are the clouds behind the sun or moon? (I can't really tell which it is. It resembles the sun, but there is little reason why a werewolf would be out in the sun since they traditionally turn into their namesake during full moons.) Has the moon/sun suddenly entered our atmosphere? If so, this cover should look radically different. Rick Butler, you've done better. I'm not sure you've done worse.
