This cover is horrible, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar! 5 5

I just noticed this stinker on eBay.

Alan Davis is a favourite artist of mine, but that’s surprisingly poor. Ordinarily much better.

Pretty much anything Frank Miller has illustrated over the past 20 years qualifies here.

Oh come on! Does that look like a properly drawn Green Lantern to you on the cover of #8?

One great gray tone to tempt the eye of a ten year old to part with his dime

It's Kevin O'Neill. He's not trying for realism, like many, many artists before him. Loved Marshal Law but if it's not your thing that's fine.  But don't say he shouldn't be a pro since he's been getting paid to work since at least the late seventies and is well regarded

But the underlying question is why so many artists who don't draw realistically are getting paid by comic publishers these days. Okay, maybe abstract expression/artwork can go up on a wall some place, but comics are supposed to tell a story in pictures. Therefore the drawings of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Captain America, Sub-Mariner, Spider-Man, Wasp, etc, etc. should look precisely like those characters. If they don't, then my considered opinion is the artwork is so much trash.

I hate this one:

I bought it some twenty years ago only to be one step closer to completing my Green Lantern run.

 

I just love it.

Finally this Green Lantern cover doesn't do anything for me:

Damn it took so long to get to the point...

It’s a kind thought.

We all know that comics can invoke adrenaline-fuelled episodes of intense excitement, and maybe, on occasion, it’s a good idea to have a short break and to calm things down a little by inducing a few moments of crushing boredom.

A valuable service.

The saying is "dont judge a book to his cover" or also "cloths dont make the monk"

Actually this thread is precisely about judging "covers" and not comics. Nobody here (certainly not I) is saying Green Lantern comics aren't fabulous. Incidentally, I haven't noticed you in the "Green Lantern" thread lately:

Is there a good reason why you've not been around?

I know this, i didnt be here if not...

I just used the saying at this moment where he was particullary good to use.

Not need to be agressive...

It's not my intention to be aggressive. I just want you to have a look at the "Green Lantern" thread to get an idea of why I don't like the Green Lantern covers I posted here.

I cannot trust that this sh*t was made by Rucka and Winick...

What a nice grouping of unasorted randoms items!

[Hepcat]

The Batman cover below is the most egregiously bad one from at least the first 45 years of the title. Artist Sheldon Moldoff, Editor Jack Schiff and the other middle-aged farts at DC with babies on their brains should have known that their particular affliction wasn't shared by ten year old boys. 

Bloody hell!

WTF?

Saw a couple of these at the current Comic Link auction. At first I thought the art was ok but something seemed kind of off. When I looked closer I realized that it looks like her left leg was growing out of her howler for some reason. The composition is just really not put together in the right way.

Gonna put that one in my personal lexicon of female body part colloquialisms.

I mean... why accept to release it as a publisher?
