Dr Fate cover
I'm a big fan of this cover. It's a comic I purchased for 33 cents because of the cover. The interior story suffers from an affliction known to the world of funny-books, where I don't know what is going on and nobody is bothering to tell me why I oughta care to begin with.
But... the cover. Here's why I like the cover.
#1: There are three individuals telling you that they are Dr. Fate.
#2: They look nothing like each other, save an improperly fit mask and costume.
#3: The blurb "Will The Real Dr. Fate Please Show Up?" informs you that none of these guys is the real Dr. Fate.
#4: The emphasis of the three would be Dr Fates informing you that they are Dr Fate is on a different word. Hence, they are telling you three different things. The tall lanky guy is telling you straight-forward that he is Dr. Fate, as if someone asked "Who are you?". The elf-guy seems to be the next speaker, correcting the tall lanky guy. No... no... no... "I am Dr. Fate. The short fat twirp is the most philosophical, emphasis on the "am". I think this is what sells the cover.
Anyway...
