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

OK.  Let's take a look at one of the most overrated ones.  Hint, where is Joker's left hip and knee?  Is this Joker or Plastic Man?

Yikes, that must hurt :eek: 

That would've been been a good addition to my old 'position impossible' thread which, alas, got pulled in its entirety by a mod with no sense of humour. Poor thread. 

But this thread is less about uncomfortable anatomy (no more Liefeld threads!) and more about horribly drawn covers. Dodgy leg aside,  the Batman cover is great!

Try again :D

Back to the topic of incredibly badly done MJs.  (hehe)  This is why I don't buy many moderns.

Questioning The Neal, minus 20 points.....:rulez:

Indeed. That's a lovely signature line you have there by the way. Impressive in both content and symmetry :headbang:

Now, do you have a favourite horrible cover then Martin?

Thanks! 

This is pretty much my go-to when someone says "horrible cover"....

Oh dear. Have to say, I'm leaning towards full agreement with you, but there's something about that big mad eye.....hm

Now come on Ken, we know how much you love this one already. Love it or loathe it (and I'm in the latter camp) you have to admit the artwork is extraordinarily life like.

Yup.

Alex Ross always aspired to achieve the level of absolute, photographic realism you see in the painted artwork here.  It's really quite an incredible achievement.

OK,  I'm off to bed now.  I've got work tomorrow and everything. I shall dream of horrible comic covers and hope tomorrow to be horrifically surprised by the overnight offerings in my absence
