I like that Brenda Starr cover a lot. Unfortunately, comics.org says the interior art is by someone else, or I'd be tempted to look for it.

I can't be the only person who dislikes Campbell's art, right? It's OK, but very much of its time. Even now, his modern work screams "mid-'90s" to me. |

In this particular instance I don't care for Campbell. But thats more so from reading Wildcats from the first series at the time I started picking it up and being far more partial to Charest's Voodoo. He gives her some elegance and poise. Campbell in this instances has rendered her down to a tattooed teenager. |

It isn't as pervasive as it once was, but there are still a lot of superhero artists who seem to have learned to draw by imitating that style. And of course Jim Lee is still popular and presumably influential to some degree. It's one more thing that keeps me from trying a lot of current comics - though to be fair, most of them I wouldn't read for other reasons, even if I didn't hate the artwork so much. |

Here's an old favorite. You've got a good-looking girl not wearing much, a hint of danger/bondage, and Dracula. How could I resist that?  (Hey, I grew up on Christopher Lee as the Count. So yeah, Dracula's sexy.) |

Nudity ain't always sexy. And sexy doesn't need nudity. A lot of these covers actually turn me off; they're trying too hard to be sexy. It can be more satisfying to uncover the less obvious sexiness in the girl next door. And who's the ultimate girl next door?  Sure, the Archie line is sold as good, wholesome fun. Hell, they did a line of Christian Archie comics for a while. But let's face it; there is a strong undercurrent of sensuality present in the books, at least in the right hands. Look at the expression on Betty's face in this one -  C'mon, folks. She's not smiling like that cause Archie's gonna buy her a milkshake. |
