Answer the door wearing this shirt and act offended if they laugh

That shirt has so many layers to it. I love it.

This is on FOC this week so won’t be out until next year. But allow me to introduce the first Worst Cover of 2024 (and this pains me because I love Art Adams work)

The face is just all sorts of wrong. No nose bridge and the elongation of the nose down by the lips.

The nose does look quite off.

If not for the nose, this would be a typical female face of his. Adams is a master, but he does tend to give all his women the same face (as a lot of comic artists do). This has a less pouty mouth than usual.

Looking at the eyes and the nose makes her face seem like the Phoenix logo. I don’t know. The face is just wrong. I own a bunch of Adams covers and this one is terrible.

You can always answer wearing this and ask them if they have $20.

With inflation it should say $30!

even better!

I like it … It’s gonna get hyped. But I’ve been collecting Adams lately…

It’s already getting hyped. Saw it on Instagram several times last night.

Ok… Ita not terrible art just terrible taste. My question is, what the hell book is it even?

These are art books, no story or panels inside the books just various art from the cover artist.

Some places are doing these independently printed books to help give artists a foot in the industry and have something on their portfolios. Or so they say, it’s a decent idea in theory just executed poorly.

Ok. I can appreciate that. I have just seen all sorts of “bootleg art” for characters and had no idea what the books are. In this case I guess it’s just a chance to showcase a naked Who

I, on the other hand, find the Grinch remarkably attractive :joy: :wink:

You only have to ask the witnesses not to call and they will not call. But when a person shows interest they return.

Biblical Christianity commands a door to door conversation with unbelievers, it is a 1st century command given by Jesus himself…that is why they come to your house. But they will not call if you ask them not to.

That’s complete bullshit. My ex wife told them to ■■■■ off several times and they kept harassing her.

Anyways… we’ve moved on, no reason to keep talking about the crazy cults out there…

I had some people from a well-known church in the area that has a pastor who claims to do magical faith healing. There are ads for it on TV and he’s had all kinds of legal controversies. Claims he can make the blind blind see and such. They knocked loudly on our door when my son was trying to nap and asked if we wanted to hear about Jesus and be saved. I used every single piece of power in my body to be polite and just tell them, “We’re good.” I swear, I would rather get the guys trying to sell me a new roof.

To get us back on topic, eBay doesn’t really allow the raunchy covers anymore, but I see a ton of them on Whatnot. They allow it and the market is flourishing there. So many booby covers. Some of them are good, but some just don’t even have good art.
