Well, Lou's covers can be HIT and miss. When he connects it's usually a home run, often knocking it outta the park. His strengths are faces and dynamic motion, his biggest weakness being anatomical rendering which can be unnaturally distorted or elongated and skinny. Also, his covers occasionally lose the center of interest. In spite of this, I'm hard pressed to criticize Fine's technique as he was a unique stylist. If judging the first four covers, I'd give very high marks to the first three; all are visually inspired with the third being right up there with Fox's Fantastic #3 (my opinion). Arguably, #4's cover is too busy with the secondary characters not especially well rendered. The fifth issue is another outta the park classic. Alas, I don't own 4, 5 or 6-8, but skipping to #9 ...and ignoring anatomical awkwardness... Lou created impressive dynamics, facial features and an awesome sea scene! comicjack, Yorick and gadzukes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
