Does this minicomic cover from the one of the DKIII: Master Race issues count?  I feel like Frank Miller has basically become the Van Gogh of comics.  There's no proportions, scale, and a whole lot of random lines.  It's all rather impressionistic.  That being said, I felt the writing of the minicomics were way stronger than the main series itself.

There was only one problem with the mini-comic!  I could still see it! :wink:

From what I remember as it's  been long time since I held one , it's almost like a hologram cover in that you had to move it around in the light to actually make out what was going on.. 

I remember thinking it was a white  fluffy white cloud until  realising it was supposed to be tombstone ..  Amazing they let that one into the wild.. Pure fail 

I remember seeing the cover and saying that it looks like rain! :wink:

:S It's painful for me to see my favorite character in this light. It looks like a mad magazine parody.... I named my first born son Nathan lol

This is an abomination!

Let me be frank, tell him you named him after the hot dogs! :wink:

I think Trimpe needs to get a pass. He was an old timer just trying to survive and get work in the 90s and probably figured he needed to change his style to look like what the yippersnappers were doing. Yes, it is terrible. Just terrible.

Like when MC Hammer went gangsta'! :wink:

This issue: Cap battles gynecomastia! :wink:

While I do agree this is one of the worst depictions of Captain America ever, this was never cover art. Although rejected cover art would be a good variant theme. Put this on Major X

I know you're all going on about the Superman drawing, but that last line of copy is just way too close to the line above

Eh?

I'm looking at the line spacing. "AN ALL-NEW…" is crashing into the comma above

I work in the graphic arts. Things like typography jump out at me. Yes, the artwork is bad too

That Youngblood has Liefeld written all over it...literally.
