1985 - Anatomy of a cover - Defenders #139

Another Mignola Defenders cover. It's unfortunate that the top part of cover is obscured or even removed  by the logo as the image seems to lose its depth and doesn't seem to be happening in a cave.

1982 - Anatomy of a cover - Moon Knight #18

Sienkiewicz is at his peak channeling Neal Adams during his run on Moon Knight. You can see more of his artistic and experimental side sneak out as the run hits the mid 20s. Love this original cover as you can clear see how everything is put togther, like the caption, Moon Knight title, and the price and issue box number. Also what's great to see if the effect of the colouring. The colouring seems a bit over the top with its bright pastel flares and really sends the eye moving all around the cover, not really allowing it to focus anywhere in particular. The fighting in this scene seems almost muted.

"Check out this INCREDIBLE, HUGE published 1987 Spider-Man door poster art which was penciled by the great Mike Zeck, and inked by the iconic Joe Sinnott! I used to own this door poster 20 years ago! This stunning piece features an incredible 3-D looking scene as Spider-Man swings across the New York City skyline right into your lap! This HUGE piece is drawn on a 15.1 by 40.25 inch piece of thick Bainbridge art board.
"This piece was hand colored in marker to perfection by colorist Ian Gletrault, and the published door poster was created exactly from this hand colored piece!"

1980 - The Art of John Byrne

• Published by S.Q. Production Inc. for a price tag of $5.95.
• Volume #1, although there was never any further volumes.
• Interview conducted Robert Keenan, a foreword provided by Roger Stern, a personal profile by Terry Austin, and an afterword by Chris Claremont.
• Apparently, Byrne can do "a recognizable impression of Sir Winston Churchill" and can sing every verse of "I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas Across the Irish Sea".
• He's also a "connoisseur of obscure curses and a seeker of the perfect hat".
• A complete checklist of Byrne work until that time.
• Included a 25-page story without any captions, called "Critical Error" which was later reprinted by Dark Horse comics.

And there's a summary of a What If story .... What If Magneto had formed the X-Men?
