Cool, Really Cool, Dud

This week I went deep into THE BIG BOX

and came out with a bunch of cool covers, a few 

cooler covers and one not-so-cool darn near

painful front sheet.

First up:
BATMAN

no.331 JAN, 1981

Cover Art by Jim Aparo

This is a sweet cover produced at the start of

what would be a very tough decade for cover art.

New printing technology and young artists

made this simple style tough to find for a while.

ZERO HOUR:CRISIS IN TIME

no.4 Sept, 1994

 Art by Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway

This is just one of many very nice covers from the

Zero Hour saga. Each story kept my interest much like this

Superheroes mask/cowl themed cover. So cool.

I love Hawkman's cowls along the bottom.

I do not love the bar code box.

POWER MAN

no.29 Feb, 1975

Art by George Tuska

Very good art, composition, color and fun 'make' this cover.

Another reason I miss the 1970's pop art.

And by the way...Cage won't be joking about your looks

now that he's heard your name. "Mr. Fish".

GHOST RIDER 2099

no.10 Feb, 1995

What can I say. It's creepy good.

It's so weird you've got to pick this issue up and read.

Inside you'll see lots of splashy art (that was the 90's) and

not a lot of dialogue. I kinda like that.

You will also find a four page Fleer ball card ad. 

DAREDEVIL

no.327 April 1994

Cover Art by Scott Mcdaniel

The outstanding cover art was carried throughout the

"Tree of Knowledge" storyline. The almost non out-lined

artwork on the interior matches the covers appeal.

MOONSHADOW

no.1 Sept, 1994

I just dig the orange Moon thing and his funny grin.

It is a neat cover to a strange story.

The inside pages are also low gloss water colors of a

child like story for adults.

A nice piece to hold in your hands.

Did I say it's suggested for mature readers.

And now this public service message.

FRONT

BACK

"One bad habit leads to another". Now I collect comic books.

I don't know where I got this but it worked. I don't smoke.

Thanks super friends.

Having fun? Not so fast.

DEMOLITION MAN

no.4 Feb, 1994

I wouldn't have signed it either.

Simon Phoenix in the back there only has

one and a half legs... but he's drawn well. 

The colors are fine too but 'what up' with John Spartan?

What's he looking at for one thing?

Do I even need to bring his arms up? It's anarchy.

The page art is much better.

I dare say it's good.

Sell this one inside out.
