Beautiful and graphic, the only element I don’t like is the placement of the cover copy. The bit of tombstone makes it hard to read.
Great Covers – DAREDEVIL #182
Great Covers – THE WITCHING HOUR #10
Some weird dead space at the upper right, but the starkness and the coloring makes it all work.
BHOC: SUPERMAN #280
For some strange reason, while I was following ACTION COMICS relatively regularly, I wasn’t similarly picking up every issue of SUPERMAN. This latest issue would be my first in months. It’s also worth pointing out that, at this time, even SUPERMAN wasn’t published monthly. DC was still following the pattern that they’d established in the … Continue reading BHOC: SUPERMAN #280
Great Covers – CONAN #16
Beautiful color and composition–and a great idea to put a texture in that area outside of the frame.
Great Covers – BATMAN #227
Very evocative. That Robin call-out doesn’t help it, though.
Great Covers – BATMAN #199
Batman has that comic collector jones on this dramatic cover. Look at him sweat!
Great Covers – BRAVE AND THE BOLD #93
An odd choice of series to co-feature, but this creepy cover makes it all work. Poor kid.
Great Covers – AQUAMAN #45
Good color, great composition, tells a full story in one image.
BHOC: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #115
BRAVE AND THE BOLD wasn’t really my book of choice, so I’m guessing that it was the 100-Page format that made the difference in this case. Either way, this got picked up at the 7-11 (by this point, the little post-Church candy store had stopped stocking comics–I had gotten in right at the very end.) … Continue reading BHOC: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #115
BHOC: LIMITED COLLECTORS’ EDITION #C-31
Man, that’s a beautiful cover. It’s a painting of Superman, done in the early 1940s, which hung in the DC offices for years–this was its first actual printing. I bought this Treasury Edition at that regular old 7-11 again, and it’s a pretty good collection of stories. It opens with an extremely early Superman story, … Continue reading BHOC: LIMITED COLLECTORS’ EDITION #C-31
