Sweet books - that G.I. Joe cover is my favorite!

Here's the original art from one of my favorite Sienkiewicz Moon Knight covers. He really did a terrific job on these covers, and made a solid name for himself as an innovator in the field. If anyone has a scan of the actual book, feel free to post it for comparison.

Isn't the scale on that cover horribly wrong though? After all the veritechs should be normal size jets in fighter (plane) mode. Most jets are around 60 ft long so in robot mode that would only make them maybe 100 feet tall? By comparison to the surrounding buildings that veritech is about 55 stories high. (Note that the robot is about half as tall as the twin towers which were 110 stories and over 1350 feet tall). That would make the robot almost 700 feet tall.... which is a mighty big fighter jet!

 

Nice piece of nostalgia, I love it too... but as art... it stinks!!

Being born in the 1967, I missed the entire EC Comics era but I did have PC and Eclipse Comics, who published the Bruce Jones anthologies Alien Worlds, Pathways To Fantasy, and Twisted Tales. I have a page on my website that lists the all the contents of Bruce Jones books. It is text only and can be found here.

Finally, here is the cover from issue 5, which features another Richard Corben cover.

It's almost hard to believe this qualifies as an "80s cover"...

Here is a scan of my I Am Coyote graphic novel, which I am currently searching for in M/NM condition. As you can see, it has some spine issues but aside from that it is great condition for reading.

 

This graphic novel was initially published as a serial in the black and white magazine "Eclipse Magazine". It was collected here in color after Epic started publishing it as a regular book. Englehart refers to this as Coyote 0. It was published in 1984.

I love the Corben and Wrightson covers!
