I heard an interesting question today- if you entered a room that had everyone you ever met, who would you go to first? Anyone who didn't come at me with a weapon.

Bogdanove's cover is an homage to the splash page of Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2 which, I suppose, only helps to support your argument that the Superman titles didn't exactly have their finger on the pulse of what 1992 audiences wanted. Since the whole point of an homage is that it is recognized as an homage... then an homage that no one could possibly recognize is a steal.

Comics I bought in May 1974. My purchases were decreasing by quite a bit. But my standards were improving, as were my social life, my work schedule and my responsibilities. Astonishing Tales 25: Deathlok debuts. Gave it a chance, but gave up on it after an issue or two more. Conan 41: Becoming a habit buy, and though I loved Conan, the series was becoming repetitive and predictable. Doctor Strange 2: Another title I wanted to give a chance. Liked the Brunner art, but I think I left when he did. Master of Kung Fu 19: Liking what I saw and stayed with this title off and on for a while and then steadily for through the Fu Manchu Blows Up the Moon arc from around #43 through #50. Savage Tales 5: A must-have for me in those days. War is Hell 8: One of the best Sgt. Fury stories ever, and I’d never had the original. Brave and the Bold 114: Reprints galore from one of all-time favorite titles, plus Aparo art on the lead feature. As much as I loved DC’s reprint line, I wish they’d found a better design for the front covers of B and B during this period; this design gave the cover artist little freedom and did no justice at all to either artist or cover. Detective Comics 442: Now this is the way you design a reprint cover! One of DC’s best titles at the time, thanks to editor Archie Goodwin, spotlighting excellent artists making rare appearances (Toth in this issue) with stories tailored to their strengths. Backed up by the unique and exciting Manhunter strip and a great batch of reprints. Rima 3: Different, as it was not part of DC’s “Weird” title group (Western, Adventure, War, et al.). The Kubert covers were, as always, feature, never a bug. Shadow 6: Lightning continues to strike inside the bottle. Consistently fascinating and authentic. No need for crossing over, being tied to an event, a universe, or a crisis. (That wouldn’t last forever.)

One of the saddest comic book covers ever... And this is no pleasure to read, either...
