Brown pre-hero monster covers! :cloud9:

Thanks Tom! I've always wondered about the sheer number of brown or brownish orange monsters on all these monster books. Did Kirby + Ditko decide that brown + orange monsters were more scary? Was it a suggestion from Stan or something mundane like those colors were cheaper to reproduce? Just curious because there are so many (shrug)

lol Thanks AS!! From a design standpoint, I like how they used yellow throughout in the title, the "Hulk" banner + as an inner border to the word balloon. Contrasts nicely to the ever present browns!

Nice books!!!

 

I tend to think that orange and brown must have stood out more on the newsstand. There are just so many orange monsters with a brown background that their must have been some rationale behind it!

 

I wonder if anyone ever asked Stan or Jack?
