More Entertaining

Truth be told, I have purchased many a comic book just for the cover. No dis intended for the creative folks working on the interiors, but many a time the cover is more entertaining. That's why certain artists have specialized in covers, cuz they know how to get people like me to get out their wallet.

Joe Chiodo is one of those specialists, and you might want to check out his official website, here.

I'm going to start a new category label here called, um, let's see, how about PulledOutMyWalletJustForTheCover.

Joe Chiodo — Marvel Fanfare #59 — 1991

I love that there are no blurbs on this cover, not even a barcode. Somebody made the right decision here. Good gosh, has it really been nearly 21 years since this stood out on the current comics section?

Twenty-one years? Scary, eh? Lovely cover 'though.

Ha, which in turn goes back to the schools of Foster and St.John, and on and on . . .
