The lengths that Production goes to sometimes (at many a publishing house) to avoid commissioning new work never ceases to astound me, especially when you end up with a paste-up hodgepodge like this. It's not quite an eyesore, exactly, but it is a conundrum, especially since DC had Neal Adams heads in regular use on JLA.
I loved them World's Finest Dollar Comics, though.
ReplyDeleteThat is weird. Whoever put this together:
— took the Curt Swan & George Klein figures from the 10-year-old cover to World's Finest #167 (whose faces were missing due to their surprise IDs in an Imaginary Story);
— pasted in what looks like a Dick Dillin head on Batman;
— pasted in what might be a Bob Oksner head (or a Swan & Oksner head, or Oksner retouching a Swan head) on Superman;
— used Dillin Green Arrow and Black Canary heads below, managing to find one where Canary looks like an unconvincing drag queen; and
— threw what I'll say is a José Delbo & Vince Colletta Wonder Woman head in-between them for a stylistic loop.
Oh, yeah: Kryptonite tiara!

Immortus's unprecedented villainy? Wearing his cloak back to front.

I have to admit that 80 pages of pure excitement sounds awfully tempting!
