Owner's Description

"Here comes the bride," oops, the bride and groom are headed the wrong way and the bride seems to be less than enchanted at the prospect of building a life with Man-Bat. Leave it to Neal Adams to turn a wedding scene into a "take that Bridezilla" nightmare of a cover. Disclaimer: I do not accuse the bride on the cover of being a Bridezilla.

Although I very much love this issue's story, the "nightmare" cover is not one of my favorites in Adams' Tec run. Both the content and composition leave me far less than enthralled, and always have. Still, as per my usual practice, I recall purchasing at least four copies of this issue off the newsstand for my; now called to contrast it with my slabbed books; raw collection.

Because of this copy's horrendous cover alignment/miswrap and off-white to white pages I am always on the lookout for better presenting 9.6 or the eventual 9.8 copy. Thus, this is a "Keeper" for the short-term (I hope!).
