I haven't done one of these in a few years, and I thought it might be fun to issue this challenge! In the image below, I've extracted the English alphabet from logos appearing on the covers of American comics published in the 1970's. Multiple publishers are represented. Your challenge is to identify the original source, not necessarily the specific issue (although that would be welcome!), but the feature for which this logo was used. To make it more fun for everyone, please limit yourself to one answer per post, and allow someone else to answer after you take a turn. Each letter comes from an "official" logo--that is, one that ran on the masthead, not in a blurb--but they are not necessarily from the logos routinely used for the feature. The logo source may be from the title of the comic, or it may be from a feature headlining in a comic with a different title (for instance, a letter from "Supergirl" on the cover of ADVENTURE COMICS). Some of these should be easy, but some are very tricky! I've left some borders that may provide some hints on some of them. Additional hints will be offered if it proves necessary. Good luck!

I'm pretty sure the H is from Thongor in Creatures on the Loose.
Less sure, but I think the F could be an early to mid-70s Fantastic Four, and thre D from a Defenders - Im thinking later 70s for that one.

Oh, and the K looks like Ka-Zar to me, possibly from Astonishing Tales, which would make it the early 70s.

Pretty sure that the "N" is from the Ant-Man logo in Marvel Feature... Issue #10, I think.

The G I believe is from Dell's Ghost Stories. There are only a handful of issues where the letters are surrounded by a corona of color, and only two with that color scheme including this one... -M

All the primary answers have been correct! The F was from FREEDOM FIGHTERS, not FANTASTIC FOUR, and the D is not from DEFENDERS....
