Dig the TOP 13 COVERS OF NOVEMBER 1976 — RANKED: — 13. Isis #3, DC. Made the list because of the idea more than the execution. That ethereal, Pharaoh-y monster thingy in negative against the cosmos is a great design concept, but the actual draftsmanship doesn’t fire. You can jump in with the knee-jerk criticism of Vince Colletta if you want to, but who knows? — 12. Batman #284, DC. Jim Aparo takes over cover duties from Ernie Chan, and boy what a difference. Not knocking Chan, but he was no Aparo. Great colors by Tatjana Wood. SIDE NOTE #1: Issues like this put Batman on his sliding scale of belief: He encounters the occult routinely elsewhere, but when it happens in his solo stories, he’s all, “This cannot be real! There’s no such thing as magic or demons!” SIDE NOTE #2: I’m not supposed to like Dr. Tzin-Tzin but I do. — 11. Super-Villain Team-Up #10, Marvel. This is why I love comics: Red Skull with one eye popping makes no sense at all but it works. It’s simultaneously hilarious, gross, and scary. — 10. Tragg and the Sky Gods #8, Gold Key. What’s more terrifying that a Tyrannosaurus Rex? A zombie Tyrannosaurus Rex! — 9. Ragman #4, DC. Not a new idea at all, but that’s fine: Joe Kubert sells it because he was one of the best ever. Great framing and execution. Just as important is the terrific integration of color by the unknown colorist. The red makes it pop but the overall effect is enhanced greatly where Ragman’s hole-filled, tattered cape is set against it, and the illustration segues into the black, giving you a subliminal message of bloodshed. — 8. Star Trek #42, Gold Key. Kiddie Spock and Kirk are fun BUT GOOD LORD THAT GIANT BABY HEAD! We all know George Wilson’s art was unhinged, but that is the ugliest, most frightening newborn I think I’ve ever...
