I thought it was weird that he wouldn't stretch, so I put it on my cover. The worn cover is made from a black sheet that I scratched up and scanned in, then made to screen in photoshop. Don't know what the IND means though.
One of my all-time favorite covers. I read this story in 3rd grade and was blown away. I loved how the Torch shaved Namor with his flaming finger. I do love that Torch has time for flaming loop-de-loops while his sis is in dire straits. Great job on the cover, Bill.
A lot of very subtle improvements on the original: mr. fantastic's stretching arm, human torch's loop, thing's running motion and invisible woman's uncovered expression.
It's weird how on the original cover, Reed isn't stretching.
ReplyDeleteAlso, how do you do the worn cover look? Or is a trade secret?
Bonus question: What does the "IND" that you see on the old Marvel covers mean?

p.s.- Ditto Josh's comment about the stretching.
He was just about to stretch. Give him a break.
ReplyDeleteI don't really see the point of this, it's so close to the original.
ReplyDeleteReally sharp cover.

The worn cover look is a great touch, too.
