I usually think Don Heck is underrated, and he did do some very nice Flash covers for DC, but he and another Marvel exile, the notorious Vince Colletta produced a real mess of foreshortening with this DC romance cover. It looks a bit like a fever dream.
So bad it's good, so vote for it! You might even get some hip hints to help yourself!

He got a bit of a makeover for the toy-line, kept the skin color and creepy attitude though. Originally Posted by Nschornhorst

Great cover by the way, was a nice surprise to see Sienkiewicz take on vintage HB property Spaceghost.
I think he did a Galaxy Trio for Future Quest too, (and way back a Johny Quest for Comico) would have love to have seen his take on Herculoids.Last edited by Güicho; 04-17-2019 at 07:51 PM.

Cool! I hadn't heard of that Zorak before. Originally Posted by Güicho

If I ever get money again, I may have to pick up some of those Hanna Barbera comics. The Herculoids are awesome. Certainly some of my favorites. Sienkiewicz did an ALF cover. I don't think anything he illustrates would surprise me after that.

Truly my favorite Crossgen, the one I most miss.

I keep hoping it will come back one day.I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

I am going to take this literally and pick a cover that a Marvel Giant did after leaving the book that brought him fame.
Ditko goes to DC
Enjoy the cover, but I am not able to be online next week, so votes would be wasted.Last edited by Kirby101; 04-18-2019 at 08:17 AM.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

That's some weird perspective going on within that cover. Originally Posted by SquirrelMan

At the time you probably couldn't open a comic without seeing the ad-
Although he (and the line) were influenced by his won...

One must award bonus points for that sweet gun that only seems to show a bigger picture of Big Jim. Originally Posted by foxley
