Howdy, folks, and check out this book.
It's called DC Comics Covergirls, with text by Louise Simonson.
Just like it says ... It's fun because of the big reproductions of many covers. The author being female, she does make the obvious observation about how hyper-exaggerated and pneumatic many of the female forms are drawn.
Since I'm a white-bread kind of guy, it is a little disturbing to see a few of the images from the chapter on the Vertigo and Wild Horse-type books. For that matter, Brian Bolland's cover with Batman body-pressing Catwoman while her whip is wrapped around his neck ... admire the craftsmanship; shudder at the image.
Anyway, this book is a lot of fun, and ONLY $14.98 cover price( at Borders anyway). Wow!
