dmstarz's favourite marvel comic cover no178
There were few comics more fun in the early 80s than Power Man/Iron Fist. Using the clash between personalities of the two main characters, who proved the idiom opposites attract, the book outlined frequently outlandish scenarios for the two heroes, producing an idiosyncratic book outlike any other that Marvel was putting out at the time. The above cover, by Frank Miller, of all people, gives as good an indication of the sense of silliness at which the title excelled. I have no idea who the guy in the white jacket is (not Jeryn, surely?) but the implication that he can knock over Luke Cage with a flick of his fingers is so ridiculous that any would be reader is given a clear indication as to what to expect from the comic - that's good selling.
I have ranked this cover no 178 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
