So I wanted to give a shout out to Mr. Horn for this cover:
That's some good work right there. You immediately get the spy thriller genre of the issue. Jen Walters, the She-Hulk, looks strong and confident, even a little bored, as she glides through the air on seemingly insubstantial wings. Plus all the black and white swirls immediately recall Jim Steranko's trippy covers for Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. All in all, it's nice to see Horn get away from his "boobs sell" mentality and deliver a solid cover that really tells the reader what the book's about...
... what's this? In the corner? Can we get a close up?
Yeah. Uh huh... could you zoom in a little more? Enhance that a bit?
Didn't Horn do the Steranko homage cover for Wolverine: Enemy of the State, too?
ReplyDeleteThanks to Google, I now know that that was Greg Land, not Horn.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find the cover with Fury in the glider suit, though.
Actually, I've found that many people confuse Land and Horn's art. It's kind of weird.
ReplyDeleteCool! The wedding-ring cover wasn't bad either. As a constant critic of She-Hulk covers, I need to acknowledge that fact, but I still have to transcribe my hoof-written review notes from two weeks ago. Like anyone cares at this point.
ReplyDeleteActually, I think that glider pose is from one of Steranko's S.H.I.E.L.D. interiors, rather than a cover. All I do know is that I've seen that pose somewhere. I don't have my books here, so I can't verify...nice cover, just the same!
ReplyDeleteJust in case you need an original to compare with the She-Hulk cover...
ReplyDeleteGlider wings
Trippy background
I've been staring at the hypno-boobs for the last twenty minutes.
