dmstarz's favourite marvel comic cover no221
Not sure exactly the intention of Chris Claremont and Alan Davis for the early covers for Excalibur, but there definitely seemed to be an intention to focus on the 'zany British' sensibility. Not that I'm complaining. The covers for the most part were very funny. This is one of the best and most surreal. A mundane cleaner deconstructs a typical Marvel comic book cover of the time (and all time, for that) in a very simple, distinctive and probably very brave cover. I love it. PS Bryan Hitch's cohort, Paul Neary, did the inking.
I have ranked this cover no 221 as part of a long term project I am producing on my own blog 'marvel-ous' on blogspot.com re: my favourite marvel comic book covers. Please visit http://dmstarz.blogspot.com and check out the other covers that have made my top 250.
