KAZAR#1... JUST WHAT IS ON THE COVER

[WEBHEAD]

I've often seen this book listed as having some hidden words (*^(*%#) on it's cover but I can 't figure out where...

 

here is my copy... did they recall it... KAZAR #1

 

I see it listed in OS with the same note...must be really small words

Just above the rear end of the Sabretooth tiger, next to the palm tree, you can see the word '[!@#%^&^]'.

I still cant see it, is it desguised as shaded leaves?

[WEBHEAD]

I kept meaning to ask this question, I guess the CCA was asleep on the job again.

[JMcD]

Oh I see it now .

I wonder if any outher covers have "hidden" words on them.

[Mushroom]

I have always wondered what was the issue around removing the "Marvel ad" from League of extraordinary Gentlemen? Anyone care to enlighten me?

[JohnBull]

I don't think they had to be asleep that much. Unless the artist bragged, who would ever notice ? There could be 100's of issues we don't know about with similar things on. Subliminal seems to be a very misleading word in this case.

[Lantern]

Not as graphic as the word on the Kazar cover, but when Alex Ross was feeling less than positive about his relationship with Now Comics he let everyone know subliminal style.

 

Check out the backwards words in line 6, 7 and 8 of the code:

 

"W ON"

"XI MOC"

"ZO LB"

 

Reading it backwards it says "NOW COMIX BLOZ"

Who keeps track of this stuff?

Trust me to pipe up on this topic. The offending (Victorian parody) ad, and we're talking not much bigger than thumbnail size here, was about tampons or something to do with ladies "ablutions". The brand of this object was Marvel. A friend of mine had an original, unexpurgated copy (for some reason, as with the Elseworlds annual, the few that escaped through the net came to England) and he subsequently sold it on ebay for about £150.

 

Can't think of any other subtly hidden swear words on the covers of mainstream comics. All I can remember is Tom Orzechowski exchanging the letters on the approval stamp for Strange Tales 180. Said ish was approved by the Cosmic Code authority. Big larfs ensued.

LEAGUE OF EXTRADINARY GENTLEMEN 5 on Ebay.

Cheers.....very very funny. PC takes over DC.

I remember talking to Doug Suplipa about this years ago, and I somehow remember the artist being fired over this. Anyone remember?

[FlyingDonut]

Look carefully at the tower in the exact center of the castle on this original Little Mermaid box. This was recalled, and the artist was fired:

 

[Aces]

I think I see uhm... something slighty to the right pointing straight up.

[Mephisto]

Disney has a lot of other little dirty secrets to their work. If you pause a scene just right in the Lion King when Simba lays down and dust goes up into the air it spells "SEX"

[RedRaven]

hell , once I got [!@#%^&^] on my mind I counted 3 structures in the castle that could be construed as a male sexual organ.
