There are glimpses of talent here but on the whole it's crude and ugly, like something a teenager might draw.
As a matter of fact, it was drawn by a teenager. This seems to be the first story published by Joe Kubert, who would, in a few years, produce some of the most beautiful and influential comics of the Golden and Silver Age. He was able to do that, in part, because he was in a field where a young artist could support himself while learning his craft.
The first requirement for achieving greatness is the opportunity to suck.
