More Everett homoerotica: Obvious phallus is obvious. The troubling thing here is that the flamboyant guy on the cover is drawn to be 12 to 13 years old inside the book. And he is a murderous maniac mercenary closer to Lobo than Flash Gordon.

If ever an early Golden Age comic was obvious about being aimed at the gay demographic: "Minimidget"?

That just looks monstrous to me. Those legs are ridiculous and hideous.

That's the story line where MJ has plastic surgery done on her face to stay competitive in the modeling biz and it goes horribly wrong. If thought bubbles and word balloons had not gone out of fashion, the various guys would be thinking: "Gasp! That poor lady" - "Michael?" - "I hope she sues." - "It.. it's not moving at all anymore!!"

First I've seen of Campbell. To my eyes, his style looks very similar to that of Jim Lee and a lot of other currently popular superhero art that I dislike.

I've always liked Chaykin's style. If he had done the interior artwork I'd look for that Accident Man series.

I'm an oldtimer but I rather Like Campbells style. Look at some of his Gen13 and Danger Girl stuff. He's better at covers and pinups, if you can look past the fact he can only actually draw one character but put it in different outfits to represent different characters. But Danger Girl was difficult to read because of the absolutely bizarre mess of 90's layouts. I had the TPB. Cracked it open and by page 2 or 3 had to put it down. Picked it up again maybe a year later, same result. Then I finally forced myself to get through the first chapter. I got used to it, and it was a fun enough series, but those layouts absolutely kill any love I could possibly have for him as an interior artist.
