In both cases, the cover art had nothing to so with the stories inside!
The art by Lee Elias for McCombs' Love Problems and Advice Illustrated #1 (1949) was a generic piece and none of the characters nor the situation shown appeared in any of the book's tales!
Note: Harvey Comics purchased McCombs' inventory when the company went out of business in 1950, and continued the Love Problems comic for 42 more issues until 1957.
And here's the weirdest thing...
...the cover art was re-used for Harvey's Private Lives and Loves of Girls in White, which appeared as part of Harvey's Comic Hits anthology (#58 in 1952), an issue about romances involving doctors and nurses!
BTW, it still didn't have anything to do with any of the stories in the book!
