Telegan Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) I've been looking at many "romance" covers lately to get an exposure to the artists, and one thing I've come to realize is that "the kiss" is something artists never quite mastered drawing. I'd rate it along the lines of Golden Age sharks. "Have you ever even seen a shark?!" "Have you ever even seen a kiss?!" Some of these kisses look like they're about to miss completely, trying to eat their companion's face, chew their chin off, or meld with them in some physics-defying feat.

One of the pair seems to have been conjoined at birth, sadly. I like the potential art on the 2nd row, 2nd from the left. Who is that artist? Other than the fact she missed his lips and seems to be trying to suck down the side of his chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bumble Kitty Posted Wednesday at 02:55 AM Popular Post Share Posted Wednesday at 02:55 AM I wonder if he is whispering "I have an extra four-day pass to San Diego Comic Con". Rarely is the back cover better than the front. This is one of those books. comicjack, Ricksneatstuff, buttock and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dr. Love Posted Wednesday at 03:15 PM Popular Post Share Posted Wednesday at 03:15 PM (edited) Ziff Davis had some good 'uns, as Billy Parker would say. From the same title btw this fantastic painted cover is by pulp art legend Allen Anderson. Who produced about 30 other painted comic covers, predominately for Ziff, in '50-'52.

It's a shame so few cover paintings survive from this era. I'm sure this original would be even lovelier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
