Not precisely a comic book (it's one of those comic/record combo that I never was privileged to own as a child), but granted an automatic bye into the final round of competition for the worst comic book cover ever:
Not only does it have a bad juxtaposition of photographic and art elements...not only does it feature those abominable uniforms from Star Trek: The Motion Picture...not only are the captions and logos careless placed about the cover with no regard for background or color, making them hard to read...
...but for a children's book, the poses invite all sorts of naughty captions. Such as:
YOUR REAR DEFLECTOR SHIELDS ARE DOWN, KIRK!!
or
HERE'S YOUR CAPTAIN'S LOG!!
or
MUST...CAPTURE...TRIBBLE...ON...KIRK'S...HEAD!!
OK, that one wasn't really naughty...but it was still fun.
Play along at home, and give us some captions for this cover (naughty or not, your choice).

I'm trying to come up with something, but the only image I have in mind is The Emperor's New Clothes.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a caption but I wanted to mention that the Kirk photo seems to be mirror-flipped. The insignia on his uniform is reversed and on the wrong side.
