What's also interesting is the addition of all those messy Marvel style blurbs beginning with issue #36 forced a reduction in the style and size of the "Justice League of America" logo beginning with issue #43. More background canvas space was needed for Mike Sekowsky's cover art! The single worst Bat-craze cover abomination may have been this one: And you can see all the hypocrisy in the text at the bottom: "too overwhelming to be shown on this cover" ... or rather: "too much text to be shown on this cover" Hepcat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC's covers from that era seemed to have better composition and use of colors, however, there is one later cover that I thought was catchy and clever, this one: When I was a kid I thought it was interesting that all the villains were tanned on this cover while the heroes were pale. I know it was done to distinguish the heroes from the villains, but I still found it interesting... Hepcat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
