"Catching an Arrow Shot From His Giant Bow" Just SOUNDS Crude

Here are some dandies from Action Comics #282 courtesy of CMNS pal Robert Gillis!


The thing about drawing rocket ships is you have to be careful because they could be construed as...


Yeah, that.  That right there.

Not enough time for the ladies in your life?  Why not use a robot?


Okay, I would never have anything call me master.  I find that distasteful.  I don't even refer to myself as my dogs' master... I am their "person."

But in any respect, exactly how far is this ruse gonna go?  I mean, if the date goes really well, what exactly happens here?  How advanced are these robots?  What exactly is the robot programmed to do? And who programmed the robot to do them?  Questions abound!

Awesome as always, Robert!  Thanks!

I saw this old Avengers cover the other day and it reminded me of my well-documented position that covers shouldn't have blurbs on them:


Now just imagine how awesome that would be if you got rid of the dialogue, the sound effects and the "The Coming of Red Wolf!" blurb.

In fact, we're going with yet another new CMNS meme.  We're calling it, Don't Talk or You'll Ruin It (tm!)

And I have to ask this... is Thor hearing impaired?  You've got a guy shouting and a dog howling maybe ten feet from your ears there.  Don't act like you don't see it.

Ah, well.  See you tomorrow!

It's rather remarkable that the guy thinks a single wolf is a match for Thor, Iron Man, and the Vision put together.

As usual the covers are @ a huge disadvantage. They have to try to (in this case) introduce a new character (or is it two?) Show some "action" and put that new characters name on there somewhere. I do however agree that (again at least in this case) less is more. A simple pic of Red Wolf and his wolf companion with the name would have been more than enough. You already know everything else.

I did a quick and dirty version here:

One of my all time "favorite" covers!
