Owner's Description

"We Wore the Forbidden Masks!" One of eight issues with Kirby art. This is more of what I think of as a typical early silver age sci-fi cover - it's a little busy and it is difficult to really get at what is going on. The focus of the cover story is clear and evident with the man in the elaborate mask controlling some big cats that appear to have gotten loose at carnival? a masquerade? Mardi Gras? I'm not sure - but there are a lot of people in simple masks in the background indicating that something is going on, but also that the elaborate mask is the important mask, even if the title is plural. There's so much going on with the details of the scene and the huge number of colors that the eye really focuses on the woman and on the nasty look on the leopard's face. This does create an interesting tension in the scene, and you can feel the loathing emanating from the leopard and the fear from the woman. This is solid. But does it sell? I don't know.
Overall? - I'm just not sold on the book based on the cover art and the title - I think this one is going to have a hard time prying my dime from my tight little grip.
