Ever since I was fifteen, in 1985, I felt that this belonged in my favorite top one hundred covers. Yet every time I look at it closely the anatomy is wrong on MK. It is a slight, but very uncanny valley for me. The arms are a tad bit long, the hands are too large, and the head is just a bit too small. Those are the two main things that pop out to me. Even though it bugs me, it is still a favorite and takes me back to that time in my life when I was all in on comic book collecting.
Do you have a favorite cover that just feels off to you? Pop a comment down below and let’s discuss 🙂

This cover is absolutely one of my favorites, and I got my copy signed, even. Rich Buckler is a super cool dude. But that doesn’t change the fact that the grey Iron Man on the right has a very strangely shaped leg.

Here is another one that I love. It is perfect… and then you focus on her feet. Honestly, wth is going on there?
