The Littlest Snowman Four Color (1942 Series 2) 755 Based on the book by Charles Tazewell Art by Dan Noonan
My wife and I found an old copy of the Littlest Snowman storybook about 15 years ago and fell in love with the quirky sweet story. She used to read it to her class every Christmas. Years later, when buying a "junk comics" lot from ebay, we found this treasure, the comics adaptation! It's just as charming as the original.
Noonan did the interior art, but I doubt he did the cover. I can't say that for sure, but I've never seen him do any painted work. In fact, he didn't do all that much comic book work at all—the bulk of it was done in the ’40s. He mostly worked in animation as a layout artist, which is a shame, because he was a very good comic book artist.
Back in the days of MU Press, we put out one Christmas special -- A Very MU Christmas. Featured some holiday tales of some of the MU Press regular features, including Rhudiprrt (by Dwight Decker and Teri Wood), Desert Peach (by Donna Barr) and Shanda The Panda (by Mike "Dick Tracy" Curtis and Mike Sagara).
Captain Marvel Adventures (Vol 1) #19 Fawcett Publications January 1943 Cover artist C.C. Beck (at first I thought it might have been Marc Swayze, he wrote, penciled, or inked many issues)
FYI: Santa Claus did NOT appear within the pages of this publication...

No, you were right the first time. It absolutely is a Marc Swayze cover. You can tell by the way Mary Marvel is drawn. (Plus, Marc confirmed he drew this cover in an issue of Alter Ego.)

Brave and the Bold #57 (Dec. 1964-Jan. 1965) featured Bob Haney’s origin story of Metamorpho, with a cover (and interiors) penciled by Ramona Fradon and inked by Charles Paris. The story continued into the next issue.

The issues were generally a little "wordy", but the art was always a visual feast. Classic beauty that was something to behold. Pick these up cheap on eBay.
In this tale, Batman slips up and almost gets himself killed trying to stop a normal thug, and is forced to go on vacation by Commissioner Gordon, who believes Batman is heading towards a total burn out.

After the Metamorpho two-parter, Haney wrote the first of the Batman team-up stories that would run for the rest of the series. I found a copy of Brave and the Bold #59 (Apr.-May 1965) at a flea market in the late ’90s. It was in decent but not great shape, but was more than worth the $2 I paid for it. Cover art (pencils and inks) by Gil Kane.

Did anyone create more forgotten villains then Haney?
Let's see: Atom-Master: Created by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang Enchantress: by Bob Haney and Howard Purcell Faceless Hunter: by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky Kraklow: by George Kashdan and Will Ely Mr. Poseidon: by Bob Haney and Russ Heath Ultivac: by Dave Wood and Jack Kirby Yggdaris the Living Planet: Marv Wolman and Curt Swan
Yep! Bob Haney created the most Forgotten Villains!

Is the Faceless Hunter "pictured"?
Forgot him. See, they really are forgotten villains.
