Cover Contest Nov 11-17: CONFLICTED

[CSTowle]

Never liked Darwyn Cooke's art, but this cover was fun:

Michael Turner has a lot of fans but his art never really did it for me. And I really didn't get it when some folks started talking about how great his women were ( there's JLA cover with Power Girl that I find horrifying). Having said that, do like this Supergirl cover for Superman/Batman

[foxley]

There is at least Rob Liefeld cover that I consider passable. If no one else posts it, I'll post it after the contest ends.

[Greg Hatcher]

I never warmed to Frank Robbins-- except when he was on The Invaders. That worked for me. Somehow his weird anatomy and awkward poses seemed appropriate on a book set in the 1940s.

Rich Buckler was always a bit boring and too derivative for me, but this was one of my favorite comics growing up and it looks good:

[Englehart Humperdinck]

It's also a nice reinterpretation of a Shuster cover concept.

Superman #32's cover was by Wayne Boring.

I never liked the scuzzy look of Mark Texeira's work, but I like what Kevin Nowlan did with Kickers Inc. #10's cover. [/IMG]

Werner Roth on X-Men and the Archie superheroes was... meh.

But I do like this Bronze Age cover, from the boots to the crazy perspective:

HA! Lois’ boots were the first thing I noticed on that cover!

Superman #32's cover was by Wayne Boring.

The Jon Bog cover attributes it to them both. I assumed it was a penciller/inker situation.

Jack Sparling's backgrounds are regularly non-existent, his figure placement is odd and more true than anything he was routinely meh to meh-minus. He took over Bomba midway through it's brief run he didn't quite usher in a new era. The last issue is kind of a cool Neal Adams rip-off but Tina and the bongo on this cover to #4 is late 60's gold. It's the reason I still keep any of these around.

I've always really liked his cover to X-Factor #50, but that's both him and McFarlane and I've never had a particular hatred for Liefeld. I came to the hobby in the early '90s boom where there were dozens of imitators of all the Image guys, most pretty awful. So on the spectrum I'd say while he's probably on the wrong side of baseline he's nowhere near the bottom.

The main reason I tolerate this Greg Land cover is because Sue isn't sporting his trademark toothy porn star smile.

That head is so obviously not from that body, it is clearly a paste on. Probably because the original looked too much like the person whose photo he used.

Reed's head looks way outta place there to me. Almost like he's drawn in a different style from the rest of the FF.

Ooo! Everyone should do a scavenger hunt for a Liefeld cover they find passable after the contest. I'm wondering if some have been saved by being inked by someone else...
