dmstarz's 250 favourite marvel comic covers no106
So I'm guessing that Assistant Editors' Month at Marvel was when all the kooky types crept out from behind the woodwork and anarchy ensued. I have to say, I adore the results. First up we have the silliness of the Avengers being on a late night talkshow. Secondly, said host, a very young looking David Letterman appears to have been drawn by Al Milgrom as a homage to Alfred E Neuman (see the gap in his teeth?). Then there are all the little weird details - the warning in the barcode box, the old Marvel comics logo in the top right hand corner and, best of all, the heroes all turning their backs to the reader in the box in the top left hand corner (hey, anyone know what the official name for that box is?). Letterman says, "We're going to have more fun than Earth's Mightiest Heroes should be allowed to have." Heck, I wish I had a copy of this so I could check that out. Brilliant cover.
