If both Amar Chitra Katha and Manoj Chitra Katha are talked of then then name of C.M.Vitankar for best cover designs can be taken unarguably.
Though C.M.Vitankar designed covers for both ACK and MCK but the cover designed by him for MCK were far superior than those for ACKs.The reason behind this was the liberty of colors which MCK allowed to give a paint like look on thick paper whereas ACK used limited colors and thin paper for covers.
Information about C.M.Vitankar is very limited and hard to find as he left this world 10 years from now,only available information about him is that he was from Ahmadnagar and later settled his base in Mumbai.
Cover designed by him for MCKs were very impressive and imparted a attractive painted look on beautifully drawn images.Many of times a comic felt more attractive due to the cover page by C.M.Vitankar rather than its story content.
Have a look at some of the covers by C.M.Vitankar for MCKs.

Have a detailed look at the cover page of 'Murkh Kumhaar',the single page narrates itself the whole story of the comic,notice the expressions of teacher,pottery maker and donkey..how beautifully each face has been rightly decorated with its expressions,simply unmatched!
Also notice the scary and amused look at the lion's face in 'Teesmarkhan',isn't it superb!! C.M.Vitankar's covers were best suited for folk and fairy tales as his style of drawing,
selection of colors and the design of character's clothes were most effective and attractive for such plots.
I am very much eager to know more about him,if anyone is having more information about him then please do share with all of us.
Presenting herewith another comic having superb cover by C.M.Vitankar,enjoy it and can anyone tell who is the illustrator of this comic!!
Presenting another comic,a Fauladi Singh,from the treasure of Deep.
Any takers of this Tarzan comic from Kiran comics!!One funny ancedote associated with Tarzan comics,at the tender age of around 5 or 6 years when i first read Tarzan comics and the name of his creator 'Edgar Rice Burroughs' somehow i was confused by such a long and different name and interpreted it as 'Edgar' who borrows Rice,thus combining it to form 'Edgar Rice Burroughs',for a long time i kept this interpretation in mind and now laughs at myself whenever read this name "Edgar Rice Burroughs".
