Worst covers ever! What were they thinking?!?

[FlamingCarrot]

I hated his Kitty Pride and Wolverine series.

 

Missed this Valentino guys stuff because I stopped buying comics in the late 80s.

Let's get this thread back on track. Here's another one of the lamest ASM covers ever:

 

 

arts pretty cool.... but the quotes gotta go!

 

Nope the quotes were written like that on purpose. It fits the concept of the art. It's from Hamlet when he holds of Yorick's skull and says, "Alas poor Yorick, I knew him well." Other than Venom looking slightly funky which a lot of artists have drawn him even worse I would probably add A LOT more books before I'd put that one up.

 

You've gotta be kidding me. His head and ESPECIALLY his jaw line are so stupid looking that I can hardly stand it. The lame Shakespeare reference does not help this pig. It is horrible.

 

This is actually one of my favorite covers. One of my favorite Modern Spider-man stories as well.

Sorry for picking a nit, but what Hamlet actually says is: "Alas poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio".

 

 

Just giving the Bard his due.

Eddie Brock was only an under study for Hamlet during his community theater days. So he didn't get a chance to truly memorize the lines.

Valentino was one of the worst artists ever.

 

I agree.....the guy was at best mediocre.

[BradleyX2]

Here's a horrid one from about a year ago.

 

 

 

Even putting aside the horrendous artwork, all it needs is a cover blurb saying: "NOT a hoax! NOT a dream! THIS ISSUE - Spidey dials down the center!!!!"

I DETEST THAT ARTIST WHOSE NAME SHALL NOT BE SPOKEN.

Hey, ugly girls with lop-sided heads need love too!

Talk about unclear on the concept. What are you doing with those classic covers in this thread? This is for the Worst Covers ever! Delete those beauties from this thread immediately!!!

[Aces]

Hey, those aren't so bad.

You tell him.

Any cover with girls in Bikinis can't be bad!

I think those are some of the cheesiest covers of all time.....

 

How about this then.....

Now we're talking! Burn that hideous wretch!!!

[comicwiz]

Ok two things here:

 

1. Why with only the 2nd book did I actually have to log into Heritage? They're both similar porn-wise!

 

2. Can you imagine if DC had published this, AND Ian Levine was missing these 2 to complete the run? I can see it now...Only 8 books to go! Just missing "C YA Next Tuesday #1"!

 

1. I was thinking the exact same thing... go figure. I'd think the "C" word alone would merit an adult verification standard

 

2.

One of the worst DD cover:

 

[Mr. Zipper]

 

Just what the heck is the blonde guy in the lower right doing? Maybe I don't want to know...

[OldGuy]

One of the worst DD cover:

 

 

The worst DD cover ever was the yellow one with Wolverine on the cover. Anyone have a scan/know the issue number? I want to say 198, but I really don't know.

at least it was only 99cents!

These two covers represent everything I hate about Byrne. Took a grand tradition and turned it into Not Brand Ecch! Vol. 2. And check out all the [!@#%^&^] on the cover of 238.....I'm surprised that they had room for Alicia's right ankle in there. Or is it her left....never can tell with Byrne.

 

PLUS - since I'm on my Byrne Rant - I HATE THE WAY HE DRAWS KIDS LIKE MIDGETS, and his women look like ET drawn with boobs!

 

Not quite the World's Greatest Comic Magazine as far as these two issues.....not quite up to the the Kirby/Sinnot 48 through 60 run........

 

There I said it.
