This would have been easier if I could draw.

I really should know better, but I clicked on a link to the DC message boards, topic of the new Frank Miller cover.

In summary... this is why I’m going to stay way the hell over here okay thanks. However, one exchange did catch my attention and would not let me shake it as it might have a sane person.

The worst/best part is, your lovely and pointed covers are anatomically possible, whereas Miller's lady appears to have disjointed her spine.

I know! But I have no drawing skills, so I was left with trying to figure out photoshop. (Or saving myself hours and just doing the text, I suppose, but we've all heard it before.)

Yes! What is it with these (literally) spineless women on comic book and paperback covers?

pickledginger April 21 2006, 06:08:54 UTC

Yikes! I've looked at the girlie cover now - not only is her spine broken, but so are her ribs ... and is that an extra pair of breasts?

If you can't draw, apparently, then you're qualified.

*flails* Yes. Exactly.

Thanks. It's just... this was *necessary*, you know?

Oh god this is hilarious (and a bit disturbing. a lot) but also, so very much just *it*. Oh man. :)

hilarious (and a bit disturbing. a lot)
*g* I'm glad that came across. It would have lost something with *tasteful* images, I think.

You know what's astonishing about FM? He can't draw for shit. In "Sin City," the art was "stylized," but in a bright mainstream superhero comic, his drawings look like the work of an arthritic bear.

I honestly haven't been following the series... one of the earlier covers scarred me quite badly.

Good god. The cover on the right looks like the BDSM porn people make with Poser (link to non-pornographic examples of Poser artwork).
