For a moment I thought you were showing me that was YOU, commenting on that post back in 2011! I don't know man, the storytelling looks clear and just that cover, helpfully showing "insufficiently_thoughtful_person" and "brick" is pretty entertaining!

That's Joe Jusko as Captain America, actually. As I recall, Cap and Spidey fight Vermin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordbyroncomics Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Joe Jusko was apparently a weight lifting fellow back then; I vaguely recall an editorial explaining why they went with a photo cover. Elliot R Brown probably did this as I've also read how he handled all of Marvel's photo covers. (update: I literally just typed a second before noticing Brown's credit is helpfully right there next to the upc box) I think you guys are a little too harsh! Some kid probably thought this was cool as cosplay was a thing of the future for the most part. We have to always remember, if adults really walked around in the costumes as they're drawn in the comics, they'd look incredibly stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liefeld would have shifted the entire cover down a couple inches or so, such that the bottom edge would amputate Cap and Spidey just below the knees. That way, he could avoid seeing ... whatever those leg-ending thingies are called! They vex him so! JJ-4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordbyroncomics Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I light-heartedly want to say that you guys are being a little rough on the Marvel photo cover(s). Kids were maybe slightly less jaded in 1982 or whenever that thing came out and it may have been something cool for them to see in a pre-CGI world. I remember being a kid in elementary school when someone brought in the Amazing Spider-Man with the photo cover (that has Peter- excuse me, the actor/model portraying Peter Parker)- standing there, unmasked- and the kids discussing it, like did Spider-Man "really" look like that, and so forth. You guys are maybe applying your current sensibilities to looking at something from like 40 years ago. Sometimes corny stuff is fun! kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
