That just hit me after some searching. Well done! Yeah, since it wasn't from Fat Albert, I figured the next most likely word was 'fate,' so I started looking among books liked Brave and the Bold or World's Finest, where his name would likely be on the cover logo. Since Mssr. Gallaher has a fondness for team-up books, I checked those first when I started looking for letters I didn't already have an inkling where they were from, but I forgot those team up issues of WF... -M

Great going folks! Almost done! That E from "Daredevil" appears to have been a one-time logo, and I bet most of us would not easily remember that for a very brief while, MARVEL SUPER-HEROES was a Daredevil/Ironman reprint book! That leaves I and M. The I is from a word that also appears in one of the previously-identified logos. The M is from a cover of what is the all-time favorite comic series of more than one forum member... The I is one that I will kick myself for not figuring it out when it is found, as I know I recognize it, I just can't place it. -M

I think this is the D: Good catch! I suspected it was from a 70s DC title, but could not zero in on the right one.

MDG , could it have been Haunted #6? I saw that one. The color is close, but the letter form is actually different. It may be from the cover EdoBosnar shared, and just an example of Charlton's sketchy printing.

Yes, it was from Haunted #10, the scan I used just had different color tones than the one @edobosnar posted. The M is not from Tomb of Dracula, although I can see why that might be suspected. The art from the cover on which the M originally appeared was used in the last decade on the cover of a hardback collected edition.

Now I'm imagining an amalgam series called Fate Albert. I wish I had the artistic skills to do a cover for it.

The letter before the I looks like it has a backward and downward slant which could make it, what, a V, W, or Y ?

You know, I think the 'M' is from Tomb of Dracula: But I'll be damned if I know which specific issue your image is from... Not the Tomb of Dracula. The first upstroke is straighter and thinner on the Tomb M than the contest one.

Great going folks! Almost done! That E from "Daredevil" appears to have been a one-time logo, and I bet most of us would not easily remember that for a very brief while, MARVEL SUPER-HEROES was a Daredevil/Ironman reprint book! That leaves I and M. The I is from a word that also appears in one of the previously-identified logos. The M is from a cover of what is the all-time favorite comic series of more than one forum member... The I would fit the word KID. Don't know which KID comic, but it's a place to start.
On the M, there is a rounded letter before it that could be an O or D, and a serif after it that could be an A, so could be something MAN.

That's the kind of analysis of clues I was hoping for!

Good idea on the M. For the I, it probably isn't a K (or an X or Z) or we'd see a foot or base at the bottom right of the letter in question. Could the next letter be an N? Tempting to thnk so, since ING is such a common sequence of letters in English - a gerund or perhaps something with WING? Another clue might be that the white border around the letter seems to blend into more of the same below, so it could be part of a few words that appear abpve the main title.
