I loved those boxes. I always noticed when they changed the image.

The only way to get them back is to support the publishers that actually do them because nobody at the big 2 care about looking back unless it'll make them money.

Making money and staying in business is not a bad thing. Why should they do anything that doesn't attract sales?

I wasn't judging or condemning it. I was stating a fact.

The amazing Joe Jusko has been drawing replicas of famous Marvel corner boxes in his own painted style and selling them at Cons. I picked up a Captain America replica corner box (based on the Kirby running with Shield held high corner box) late last year.

Well worth purchasing if you get the chance.
