Artists That Just Do Covers & Not Interiors

[Primal Slayer]

There's nothing more I hated back in the day when I'd get a comic, the cover is beautiful and then the inside is just a mess.

There's nothing more I hated back in the day when I'd get a comic, the cover is beautiful and then the inside is just a mess.

What's even worse is when you get a book with a gorgeous cover by someone like Terry Dodson and then inside, the regular-sized interior is drawn by 3 different artists none of which are the cover artist or even have a style similar to the cover artist. You mean they couldn't even get the cover artist to draw 8 interior pages? Sigh....

A cover artist that can almost always persuade me to buy a comic is Ben Oliver. (I got all of his Jimmy Olsen variants.) He very rarely does interiors. The last one I'm sure I remember was The Just from Multiversity.

Yeah Ben Oliver is great!

I would add Julian Totino Tedesco as well. Cover art is straight up awesome.

That's one thing I hate about all these "pinup" variants. Oh, a beautiful Derrick Chew cover for Harley Quinn, then the interior is garbage (I don't like Risso).

Though I do buy the cover I like the best nowadays, I like the past when the interior artist was the cover artist and it had something to do with the story.

Some of these pinup artists though, not sure if they are any good at visual story telling or not because they've never done interiors.
