Ah, the wonders of Photoshop on a tight printing deadline!So, did "fangirl" (and fangirl-friendly fanboy) online pressure get these Turner mammaries pulled back?
If so, can they get Stephanie's trophy case put in and make it, in addition to PG and the Supergirl switch, "3 for 3?"
Hint: You will have better luck with your "Stephanie" letter/e-mail writing campaigns if you write to the Top first. Your letter-writing order should be as follows:
1. Heads of corporate offices (for example, Time Warner)
2. Heads of comic book publishing offices
3. Editors
Editors alone are pretty powerless to implement such changes on their own even if they wanted to. These changes are made either by the top guns of the publisher or by the top guns of the publisher under direct pressure from the corporate office.
Postscript: PG's breasts still look like a butt on that cover.
Of course, the complaint was not simply the size of the breasts. Power Girl still has a vacant stare and is just standing there rather lifeless.
ReplyDeleteKryptonian women must have steel-plated spines. Either that or their breasts are made of marshmallows. Big, fluffy, marshmallows.
ReplyDeletewell brad did request a reduction as well (twice)

ReplyDelete--true, but after all the $$$ DC probably paid Turner for this cover, they probably felt they had to salvage it somehow in order to justify the expense. I would imagine that Turner is in the upper echelons of cover rates -- which is ironic considering how this cover turned out.
The more covers Turner does, the less and less he seems to pay attention to real-life bodies. His art used to be fairly good, but I think he's become a bit of a hack lately. His fans still seem to love him, but a few did still poke fun at the JLA cover when they were buying it.

ReplyDeleteThe key is that they're still buying it. As long as those types of covers sell books, artists will keep drawing them. It really comes down to giving the readers what they want, whatever that may be.
I like the ass-on-chest explanation. A co-joined twin, perhaps? Or maybe Dr. Psycho's brother got lodged face first into her ribcage in a transporter accident.
