Limited Collectors’ Edition C-45 More Secret Origins of Super-Villains Cover by Dick Giordano
One of my favourite covers from the Limited Collectors’ Edition series, and it’s primarily due to the pose of Bizarro in the foreground.
Giordano has the figure in the perfect dynamic position charging forward. You can feel his energy as he balances on the point where he’s about to take his next step. The rest of the figures make an arrowhead fanning out behind Bizarro, echoing the energy of his lead.
Colour and trade dress by me.
