The covers always seem incredibly naff but that's typical of DC in those days before Marvel forced them to change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-61207561622705999032014-07-07T15:08:33.296+01:002014-07-07T15:08:33.296+01:00I'm mightily impressed by that Fireman Farrell...I'm mightily impressed by that Fireman Farrell cover. In fact, the artist who sprang to mind when I first looked at it was David Mazzuchelli. The figures and the inking style put me in mind of the work he produced on Daredevil and Batman a while back, which is high praise indeed. Even the interior page suggested similarities, and it certainly feels more modern than the rest of the examples shown here.Gey Blabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574046212154188903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-4424494731711165232014-07-07T14:57:57.445+01:002014-07-07T14:57:57.445+01:00I'd say it was aimed mainly at the readership ...I'd say it was aimed mainly at the readership that bought comics, Col - boys - and their sisters perhaps.

Kid, you said the other day that super-hero comics were mainly aimed at boys (I agree) so who would be the intended audience for the Lois Lane comic ?
