Sugar&Spike - Unused 1971 book proposal
Back in 1971, Mayer did some material as a proposal for a book collection of comics as THE POCKET-SIZE TREASURY OF SUGAR AND SPIKE STORIES.
It didn't come out, of course. Too early, I guess. Just had to wait another 40 years. Still, a nice cover. This copy of it is from COMIC BOOK ARTIST #11 [2001] from TwoMorrows, a flip-book issue with one side devoted to Sheldon Mayer and the other to Alex Toth (an artist who Mayer hired back in the 1940s). You should try to find a copy if you're interested in Mayer's work (TwoMorrows is sold out, unfortunately).

Another creative team hired by Mayer: Jerry Seigel and Joe Shuster. Mayer's the one who said, "hey, let's give this Superman thing a chance."
