I've said this before but I'm another guy who dislikes not only variant covers but the whole idea of having one artist do the cover and a different artist the interior - though I understand that in some cases there was the practical consideration that the interior artist might not be fast enough to produce 20 pages plus a cover every month.

I just consider covers like that as an art print. Buy it or not based on whether you want that piece of art. As for false advertising, I'd put Bronze Age Marvels with a new cover but a reprint inside because the Dreaded Deadline Doom hit and the story the cover is actually for is in the issue after that one (a happened on a few titles, Conan being the one that comes immediately to mind) much worse in that regard.

Or you know most of 70s Marvel where Gil Kane and Jack Kirby were doing the covers for books they didn't work on or DC with Adams and Chua doing tons of covers for books they didn't work on. The idea of the interior artist being the cover artist was never truly a reality for most of comics industry, but it seems some fans have glommed on to that idea of being universally true for all comics form the era they liked when it was very much the exception and not the rule for much of the Bronze Age. And in earlier eras where comics were much more anthologies-which interior artist should have been the one doing the cover? Again, it's a snapshot of a few particular instances that fans have exaggerated into being the expected norm for all comics and then penalize comics that don't meet their unrealistic expectations It happened in some specific instances, but it was never the standard procedure for the industry as a whole, except for a very small window of time mostly stemming out of the Shooter era. -M |

Artists in the 40s did covers for books they didn't do the interior. Lou Fine, Mac Raboy, Fred Ray, Matt Baker....

L.B. Cole's covers were by far the best thing about the comics they covered. They really don't lose much by being slabbed.

I know some will disagree, but for me reading 70s DC, it was always a relief to learn that Ernie Chua only did the cover...

I know a Blind Man shall lead them. But Daredevil isn't suppose to be blind and use his club as a cane. Should he really be walking do9wn the street in costume with a white cane?  |

You'll note that he's clearly leading them away from Dr. Doom instead of towards him, so maybe having a blind guide isn't the best idea after all.

It's Daredevil's birthday and they're playing "hit the piñata". Doom is just there to steal the candy.
