Benny Hill (21 January 1924- 20 April 1992) and Audrey Hepburn (4 May 1929- 20 January 1993), circa 1988.

Hopefully there is some speeded up footage of them chasing each other around with Yakety Sax playing in the background.

is it still hope if you can't feel it is it still love if it hurts so much fold your dreams and joyful moments into the stars we'll hoard them in treasure jars and light the darkness - the flickering glow warding us from the weight of the night

Fury No. 6, dated 20 April 1977. Cover by Carlos Ezquerra. The cover seems to be partly inspired by a panel from Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos.

They're fighting Germans in that strip though so the 'Banzai!' and the 'Rising Sun' background is a bit misplaced. I'm going to guess it wasn't Carlos who did the lettering and leave it at that.

Carlos Ezquerra had used a similar cover layout, to much greater effect, on Battle Picture Weekly and Valiant No. 93, a few months earlier (https://all-action-all-picture.tumblr.com/post/670266544516923392/dgfsgfhdfha)

A Deadly Present for the Red Army.

Battle Picture Weekly and Valiant dated 11 December 1976. Panzer G-Man cover art by Carlos Ezquerra. This is my favourite Ezquerra cover. The grenade has a 3D quality and this image would have really stood out on the newsagent's shelf in 1976.

Ezquerra produced a similar cover for Marvel UK's Fury No. 6, cover dated 20 April 1977. I think the Battle cover works better but both are great images.
