Strange that Jughead is involved in this project, given his attitude towards girls. Archie and Reggie must have promised him food. |

So going back to the OP's question-how many of you bought the comics you are posting the covers of just because you thought they were sexy?
I see a lot of covers posted, but not many actual answers to the OP's question....

I was a Marvel and DC fan of many books in the 80's. I can think of actually buying this one-  |

So going back to the OP's question-how many of you bought the comics you are posting the covers of just because you thought they were sexy? I see a lot of covers posted, but not many actual answers to the OP's question.... -M Without checking all 54 of my comments, I can't say for sure, but what covers I actually posted should all be comics bought for that reason. Some may have been for other reasons, like Ghostly Haunts, which is also that I like Tom Sutton's art in general, but also for that gal bondage from the alien abduction story. Then there are series I was already reading that had I not been, a particular cover may have caught my eye and got me to read it, like Kyle GL era, which is only GL I have in it's entirety. Ron Lim  Darryl Banks  I would say one of the first four books I bought ever, off a gas station spinner rack, was swayed by Ron Lim's Krystalis. After that there were some great Luna covers, but I was already buying the book monthly by then.  Edit: A lot of my earlier purchases seem to be a lot for this reason. The best I can figure is coupled with a lack of knowledge about the characters I let my (although very late) hormones weigh my decisions into buying some of the comics I did. I had a very sheltered childhood/teens and didn't see anything remotely pornographic until I was in my twenties living on my own. So I guess comics, and in the 90's no lack of, with sexual covers and/or even subjects got my money. They have still even 20 years from now, cause, well I have no shame in loving a woman's form, drawn, photographed, or otherwise. |

But did you buy it just because it was a sexy cover as the OP asked, or were there other reasons you bought the comic? The question asked how many people bought comics just for the sexy cover I believe. I think it was an interesting query that got lost in the parade of covers. -M |

The question asked how many people bought comics just for the sexy cover I believe. I think it was an interesting query that got lost in the parade of covers. -M Yeah, there were a few that I bought for the covers, the Phil Noto ones for sure and a few of the Paolo Pantalena and Stejan Seijic ones as well. Sadly, I like the artist work but if they're slow, sexy lady covers usually are all they can do. Stuff like the Chaykin covers, well I'm a Chaykin homer and will purchase almost everything he does. Its a mishmash of items purchased because I'm a fan of their artwork or trying to be a completist of said a artist. |

I don't think I have ever bought a cover because it was sexy. I've bought some books for the cover because I liked the artist (usually Steranko or Kubert) but not because of the sexiness of the content. In fact, when Dynamite first relaunched the Red Sonja books in the early 2000s I often chose the cover that was the least cheesecake or at least had the most dynamic action shot rather than pure cheesecake-I prefer my covers to be dynamic action snapshots rather than posed cheesecake. Do some of them have appealing depictions of women on the cover-sure, but that was never the selling point for me.
Now helping out in a couple of LCss over the years, I have seen covers like these draw customers in and repel customers away, so I was curious about the OPs query-how many here had bought a book simply because the cover was sexy-and for no other reason.

Heres one of my favorite Salvador Larocca covers of Storm, that I bought just for the cover even after I stopped reading it cause I didn't like Kory's art. www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=306781I bought this one to complete a set. Yeah, That's right . To complete a set...  Wonder Woman #95 was actually the first of her comics I ever bought. Yeah ... cause there's gals on it. :surrender:  Some Mike Mayhew ... the Mystique I know I remember buying for the covers ... Vampirella was some for the covers but a lot because of the Warren magazines ...   And the Joe Chiodo limited edition cover I bought besides the standard issue ...  I bought this cover just for Chris Cross' art of Fire and Ice ...  The two volumes of Alexis are good examples, in the events in the comic, more so than this particular cover, of the current subject of unorthodox sexual themes. Unfortunately after buying both volumes, I found that the covers were the better part of the book. This is my favorite, which is thankfully one of the few I could post here.  Going through the thread these are all the comics posted, that I've either posted myself or someone else has and I own them for just that reason, just because the cover was sexy. Some got me to read more of the series and/or character, some didn't. Mostly the ones that didn't were my realization early on in comic book buying that the cover artist wasn't always the interior artist. Or knowing that the interior artists wasn't the same as the cover artist, but the cover was good enough to justify the purchase. |
