This cover is horrible, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar! 7 7

Locally designed cover to a Danish Superman & Batman book from 1972.

There is a comic called Orc Stain as well, which I’d never heard of, so you were on the right track.

I don't know anything about Orc Island, but Orc Stain rules! Stokoe has that ugly underground, super detailed thing down, ala Kevin O'Neill. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I dig it. Not sure about this book, but the death metal font gives me a tangential excuse to use one of my favorite pics..

Yup. Crystal clear font.

I find it’s much better than sans serif.

Who wants to tell me what this book's title is? Yes, that's meant to be a legible logo.

Actually has a strong resemblance to the George Reeves' Superman from the tv show

Seen worse from him.

Just a bit boring and repetitive in general.

Probably one of his better covers.

Really? Wouldn't like to see his worst, so glad I don't buy new books if this is a typical example.

This alone should have been an indicator of the overall quality of this book.

Man, I'm so glad we've mostly stopped pretending these guys are geniuses.

Such a ludicrous punch

Looks more like a Flex Mentallo prototype.

You wouldn’t.

I have an important question. This thread has run 35 pages, since 2018. But unless I missed it somehow, no one has ever posted Conan #9 (from the 1995 Marvel series). Why ... How can that even be??

A cover so bad that looking at it induces PTSD. Who would want to.

In my case I didn’t even know about it. Now I do. Seeking therapy.
