I finished watching HELSTROM last night, the 10 episode Hulu series loosely (very loosely) based on Marvels Son Of Satan character. There was more references to Ghost Rider comic history than Daimon Hellstroms, but overall I liked it. Too bad it looks like there won't be a 2nd season.

I had forgotten that Rorschach made a "sort of" appearance in The Question #17. Lucky DC never decided to make him a part of the DCU.

I'd never seen this before, an unused/rejected cover for X-Men #10 introducing Ka-Zar... and the actual cover used... I have to say I like to unused cover with the dinosaur and Zabu in the frame better. -M

Man, that unused cover is way better. Seriously—I can’t see Zabu pulling in a lot of readers

And Zabu is on the other cover too, just in an obtrusive circle not part of the cover composition that with the placement of the other balloons/caption boxes just makes the cover look cluttered. The unused cover has better copy placement as they frame the art, not intrude on it. Zabu wasn't the thing that made the unused cover better in my estimation, it was the layout and placement of the captions more so than the art itself. -M

Stan having covers redone was always about how it would work on the News stand. He was probably wrong as often as he was right, but we do have to look at it through the 60s marketplace. I bet the things we think made him change it were not the reasons.

I think the published cover has a tighter structure and Ka-Zar's pose is more dynamic. We can see all the better who the real star of this comic is - hint: not the X-Men!
I like the unused one too, but it's more of a panorama shot - which does allow space for Zabu and puts the title characters more on display, but on the whole it doesn't convey the energy of the second one, to my eyes.
No Zabu except for the clumsy insert is a big disadvantage for the published one, though. I'd agree with that.

Could have been something as simple as the poses of the X-Men.

Have you seen those claws? He can pull in anything he wants.

Batman never had a main love interest. He has had different ones at different times (is it Silena Kyle now), but it is rare for heroes who have been around so long to have no woman identified with him. And no one say Robin.
