The Jim Starlin credit is a misattribution.
According to the GCD, Gil Kane is the penciler.
"Credits from the original artwork as reported by Nick Caputo (April 1, 2006)."

Noted and corrected. I had a source that credited the pencils to Starlin, but I could never easily recognize his style on this cover. When you pointed out Gil Kane, it also seemed inconsistent with his style. Once I located Kane's original sketch though, I was convinced Ploog used the design as a foundation for his own pencils and inks. You can even see his modifications. Thanks for pointing this out and helping me keep this blog accurate. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjQ3qSo4vrYAhWMvVMKHS0FDqIQFgguMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.comicartfans.com%2Fgallerypiece.asp%3Fpiece%3D846743&usg=AOvVaw3KABCsrlsEiRWAqAI38xlJ
I admire the astounding accuracy of the art IDs on this blog.
So when I came across this one, I had to look really closely.
Both the man's hand and the Grim Reaper figure seemed more Kane than Starlin.
But, early Starlin had a LOT of Kane influence, so it's easy to see how the piece could have been misidentified as such.
And Starlin WAS doing a lot of reprint book covers in 72-73!
Please keep up the GREAT work!
