although the beach scene is lovely, this cover is too recent robot1a.
needs to be before 2009  Omg sorry. That cover is by Michael Turner, who died in 2008. I didn’t realize it was published posthumously. Thank you for the correction. I switched my cover. |

Hey, I try to be forgiving of artists' individual idiosyncrasies but when your habitual "high heel" postures lead you into specifically drawing a woman walking by burying her toes straight down into the sand on a beach, wouldn't you think to yourself, "Hmm, maybe this staging is just not gonna work"? I mean, you just can't ignore that as a viewer, can you? That's not tip-toe, that's just poking post-holes step by step. Even if you've never personally walked barefoot on a beach, you just gotta feel in your bones that this ain't right! I liked the ocean scene. I didn’t pick this cover for the girl. You’re definitely entitled to your opinion and I hear what you’re saying. Personally, I think the artist can draw however they want. |

I'm withdrawing my entry to focus on personal issues right now and I just want to disclose that right now. For whatever it's worth I noticed it; those '40s BP Startling/Thrilling/Wonder 'Xela' (Alex Schomburg) covers were some of the earliest use of airbrush color, and I just love the way those looked! I felt fortunate to have found two of those back when I collected golden age comics. I liked what little I saw of Michael Turner's Supergirl, that's about all I have, two or three covers. |

I'm simply blown away by the stunning amount of detail on this cover by John and Marie Severin:  |

Not because it's a good cover, but because once you see it, you never forget it. Not an entry  |

I've deleted my earlier entry of Aquaman #9... this is what I originally thought of but when I saw MechaGodzilla had a similar 'Xela' cover up I didn't want to step on any toes... since he bowed out for other reasons, here is one of my all-time favorite covers from any time... "Aieee fanged one, now will you taste the steel of Judy Of The Jungle!" |
