MintyMint Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Nice covers Hepcat! Thanks for sharing. My top 5 GL covers in order of preference: 76 (not original of me, I know, but really works for me), 40, 32, 33 and 34. Special mention: 4, 9, 16, 24 and 37.

I decided to make my life easier by not counting the Green Lantern - Green Arrow issues. The #33 and #34 are both in my top seven.

Hepcat Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Well since I posted the Green Lantern covers I like the most on the previous page, I might as well post the covers I rather dislike as well: Quite simply Green Lantern doesn't look like himself on this cover. I don't think grey-tone was a good finish here. And here are another two early Green Lantern covers that strike me as simply blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Here's another Green Lantern cover I don't like: Not surprising since Jack Sparling is way down on my list of favourite DC artists. Esaravo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 After seeing a house ad for that one in 1963, I coveted it for nearly a year before acquiring a copy through a trade. Lee Enterprises 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Gil Kane's artwork, particularly his drawing of human figures, evolved dramatically between the years 1963-64 and 1969-70. Here are some of his Green Lantern covers from 1963-64: Northland copy And here are some of his Green Lantern covers from 1969-70: In my opinion his representation of both human faces and figures declined dramatically over those five or six years. Granted the earlier covers were all inked by the old master Murphy Anderson while the latter ones were inked by Kane himself, but I believe that Kane's style had evolved in a more surrealistic direction over those years. And I much prefer his earlier artwork. Edited 2 hours ago by Hepcat Brkndwnbus and Jaylam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brkndwnbus Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I had been looking for this book because of the cover for a little while and recently picked it up from a nearby shop. Hepcat and hchill25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Surfer Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The Phantom of the Space Opera? DC should have fired most of their writers but they cranked out stuff like this for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
