I’ve often pointed out in this blog that, during the Silver Age, many Batman covers achieved a level of psychedelia akin to a bad acid trip. However, this phenomenon isn’t exclusive to the 1950s and 1960s… Here are a dozen later examples (taken from the Grand Comics Database) of brilliant cover artists – and especially colorists! – trying to drive comic fans magnificently insane:
Norm Breyfogle
Will Simpson
Alex Ross
Ed Hannigan and Klaus Janson
Kelley Jones
Frank Quitely and Alex Sinclair
Dustin Nguyen
Guillem March
Ed Hannigan and Klaus Janson (again)
Rich Buckler and Karl Kesel
Michael Allred and Laura Allred
Chris Burnham
NEXT: Pulp fiction.
That first Hannigan and Janson cover is crazy! It makes my brain hurt!
