I thought it was either that or Doris. Some D-name.
This should be fairly straightforward.
Hearkening back to a previous question in a way:Name the comic (including issue number)considered to have kicked off the wave of Silver Age gorilla covers.

Strange Adventures #8 just prior to Captain Comet. This is among my "must find & buy for the collection" comics that I do not own but have promised to one day get.

Thank you, sir! To be fair, that's one of those random bits of trivia I know off the top of my head.
Here's one that could end up being harder than usual unless someone immediately knows it. Following the 'repetitive imagery on covers' trend such as gorillas at DC in the 1950's/Silver Age instituted by Irwin Donenfeld, what DC Comic book had both a dinosaur *and* an atomic bomb going off on the cover? It's truly one of the awesome covers of that era. I don't need the issue #, just which series it was.

Both good replies; Weird War Tales came later, at the close of the 60's/1970's, so I think by then the method of putting specific things on covers to draw in young readers had changed dramatically (less gorillas, dinosaurs, atomic bombs, etc.).
Don't have it yet...

Blacula has it! Take a look below at this awesome cover! In searching for an image of the cover I discovered Rex actually kills the Tyrannosaurus Rex with the atomic bomb--WOW! ![[Linked Image]](http://www.legionworld.net/upload/00000235/Rex-11.jpg)

I love the fact that Rex is so mega-kewl, he doesn't even need googles to shield his eyes from that atomic blast!

How do you top Rex beating back a wolf? A grizzly bear, naturally. How do you top that? A FREAKING TYRANNOSAURUS REX!!!
How does he stop him? Knock him off a cliff? Trick him into falling through ice? EXPLODE AN ATOMIC BOMB ON HIM!

Gosh. And there I was thinking my Rex the Wonder Dog guess would get laughed at.
Though I did spend a few minutes looking through the Rex covers at the GCD a few months ago so maybe I'd subconciously remembered this one?
Back later with a question.

OK - Which DC villain has (or used to have) a significant chess-playing motif and which two heroes have been prominently depicted playing against him/her?
