I only own one cover, but would love to own three or four more (if you have one, please sell it to me). That said, this cover has come up twice on ComicLink in recent years and the price is low, but I can't unsee her right arm/fingers. It just looks wrong. Her arms bend awkwardly, and for some reason Jay thickly "outlined" the fingers compared to the rest of her. Her foot in the background looks more like a big finger. I have passed twice as I know that is all that I would see, not the rest of the cover. Dont know about you, but most people wouldn't even notice the fingers.....

When these deficiencies occur on a Sal Buscema piece desirability and value actually go up!!!! This goes against the Critics of the Dark Shadows of Oceana so Like or 🤣 at your own risk.

Mold or fungus because I would be concerned it could spread to other art I own. 4. Alterations after the fact like the fake paste ups. Number 1 doesn’t bother me. Otherwise spot on!!!!

Malvin I don’t know what it is illustrating, but are you sure it was a flaw and not a deliberate design choice? The other hand looks normal, and the grotesque shape and position of the bad one is too strange to be accidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_K Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 It's probably the worst Anacleto drawing I can recall. It looks like he referenced different body parts from different sources that were in different poses. exitmusicblue and Noob19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, maybe she was cursed with pig hands in that issue I like Anacleto and want to replace and example I sold a fe years ago but since I never read that comic (and likely never will) I won't have the context and I won't buy that art (and therefore it is a turn off) Malvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the arm/hand looked normal, I would have bid at least $6k (probably more). Instead, I just wouldn't want it in my collection. I'm afraid the pig hands might spread like fungus to my other art.

Maybe this particular issue had Dejah dislocating her shoulder, losing her arm below the elbow and having a thark forearm grafted on?

I thought that was her pinkie for a long time, but it is the back of her foot. Still looks really weird. And like I said, he actually outline each finger. Also like that arm was a replacement stat.

The arm is deliberately bent backward to grab the knife, but the arm length still seems out of proportion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo M Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Childish faces on oversexed female bodies. That is a major turnoff for me on some otherwise fantastic major contemporary artists' work. Noob19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
