I figure I’ll sport some of my favorite comic covers of yesteryear and heck, maybe even tie it into an old cheesy video too if I can!

This week I’m spotlighting the cover to Superman #422 by the way-too-talented-for-his-own-good Brian Bolland. Seriously, I’ve bought many comics solely based on this guy’s cover. And sadly, the bulk of the comics suck, but I kept them anyways because of the covers. Hey, DC, how about putting out a gorgeous coffee table book collecting Bollands artwork?

Anyways, this issue saw Superman turning into a werewolf of sorts. And while I barely remember any details, I do remember thinking this was possibly one of the worst Superman comics I”d ever read in my life. Awful story. Mediocre art. And I really hate Superman to begin with, so that’s saying a lot. But again, you just can’t beat this killer cover. I think the shading and black and white treatment are what really put this one over the top.

Since we’re on the Superman vibe, here’s a non-cheesy (heh) video for you. It’s the Crash Test Dummies singing “Superman’s Song.” I’ve always loved this one for some reason.
