and Jonah Hex and Other Western Tales #2, painted art by Luis Dominguez

That painted Batman painted cover had originally appeared on a DC tabloid-sized (10" x 13") comic earlier in 1976. Here's that cover so you can appreciate it up even closer ('specially when you click on the image to Gothamisize it!):
