What was on the first Weekly Shonen Jump cover?

The first issue of Shonen Jump, cover dated August 1, 1968 and released July 11, 1968, sells for 90 yen and says what it is in plain text across the top: all manga, all one shots. The cover is split. On the left stands Kujira Daigo, Sachio Umemoto schoolboy hero, drawn huge in his buttoned uniform. On the right, a helmeted racing driver in goggles looms over a blue race car. Between them, small but permanent, sits the pirate head mark above the English word Jump and the number 1.

The issue itself held just eight stories, a mix modern readers would find startling: Kujira Daigo, Fujio Akatsuka Obakare Apache, Go Nagai Harenchi Gakuen, Hiroshi Kaizuka Chichi no Tamashii, Kazuo Umezu Te, and a Japanese reprint of the American Flash Gordon newspaper strip among them. Two serials began in this issue, Chichi no Tamashii and Kujira Daigo; the rest was one shots, exactly as the cover promised.

Why it matters as a cover: almost nothing on it survived except the pirate and the promise. The magazine was biweekly, not weekly; the red burst on the cover announces twice monthly publication. It went weekly in 1969 and took the Weekly name with it. The series on the first cover are footnotes now. The format the cover advertised, a thick anthology sold on variety, became the best selling comic magazine in history, with more than 7.5 billion copies sold since 1968.
