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

It's not great. Not one of The King's best.

Never liked Wolverton's grotesque caricatures.

The Terry Dodson Action Comics image also looks more like a typical cover layout rough that many artists do before committing to a more detailed, more polished final version. You can see many actual cover preliminaries being used to pad out the page count of thinner trade paperbacks.

Variant cover for Action Comics #1068. I guess it'll appeal to the 5 year old reader segment.

This is very rough but it is also well-drawn and has good colors. My complaint is that Superman is posed like a teenage girl.

Not necessarily teenage, but perhaps quite feminine.

Reminds me of this classic cover…

Hey, it's the old bottom lip only lipstick trend! I wonder why that never caught on?

AKA 'liver lips'

C3po has had breast implants and even the front console was put on a bad angle by drunken spaceship manufacturers.

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

Is that meant to be an attempt at death metal lettering?

In which case, Orc … something.

Orc Island, apparently.

Can see it now.

I'd come up with "Orc stand", which made a bit less sense.

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