Appealing in its oddness. Can't even compete for worst!

Didn't issue 1 of this series come up in another thread, including some pages? BangZoom's place?

Someone mentioned the Giant Subby Head cover, I assume they meant this one?

bad, but not as bad as the worst timely cover of all.

 

[Silver Surfer]

How about "Dizzy Daze" Marvel Mystery #91, man that was awful.

bad indeed; funny that dizzy dale and doctor dill would both weigh in so heavily on this thread.

[Bronty]

no doubt those timely are god awful but they are not the worst. Judy canova forever!!

[Point Five]

Great thread!, and here's my offering.

 

Victor Fox was right...why use Lou Fine when replacement cover artists of this high caliber were available?

 

I have to agree with .5. I've always felt that this cover epitomizes the decline of fox books, which were once at the top when it came to cover art.

 

It is a lame image of ole captain cranium to be sure, but the damsel is a damn sight hotter than speedo boy on the Marvel Mystery

I do like the handling of the lady's face and shoulders...there's actually some nice subtlety to them. My guess is that the artist swiped her from a photo of some actress, as the rendering on Samson is so awful that it's hard to believe the same artist could have done both of them.

[Mutant Manatee]

Not to mention that although Samson should be further away from the viewer, his head is three times bigger than the woman's.

No, no, you got that wrong. That's because Samson's a really big guy

Pretty much any issue of 'All Flash" quarterly has a horribly drawn cover. I am glad I sold all of mine off.

 

I don't think the Timelys are so horrible. Usually just one or two poorly drawn faces. The all Winners #2 is ok other than submariner...I always hate how they draw Bucky's face like he's a doll or something

 

The Sampson cover is just horrible. Looks like they hired a 7 year old.

[Jayman]

Least we forget...

 

 

[the blob]

i dunno, other than the creepy nudity 48 isn't so bad. the anatomy on the 47 is kindah messed up...if you look his bicepts seem to be coming out his forearm. i think you can find much worse in the golden age.

[Jayman]

I was referring to the creepy nudity...

[Bronty]

yes indeedy.

 

although I kind of see blob's point, those covers are more "disturbing" than artistically terrible

[the blob]

seriously, how in the 40's was a bare arsed man allowed on the cover of a comic?

[Miraclo]

It is funny because you would never find a male bare arse on a comic cover today, but back then there didn't seem to be any problem with it.
