Here, fixed that for you

I've been reminded that the covers of the L.L. Miller Captain Marvel books were in color and that's likely what Gargunza was looking at here. I still stand by my decision to poke some fun at Marvel, though!

So here's a panel from the original black-and-white version of Marvelman in the UK's Warrior:

Now can you predict what Marvel did when they recolored the art for their recent Miracleman republishing? Why, of course you can.

D'OH

(Not that the 1987 Eclipse version did it any better...)

So that's why I'm going to introduce a new feature I like to call

Here, Fixed That For You

The moral of the story is HIRE A LITTLE STUFFED BULL TO WORK AT YOUR COMIC BOOK COMPANY.

Over on Twitter, Avram Grumer makes the excellent point that this could well be the cover of an L.L. Miller Captain Marvel comic, which would have been in color.

I stand by my decision to make fun of Marvel, though.
