Owner's Description
"I Found the Tribe of Tomorrow!" I have a particular affinity for these 50s DC books that don't quite know what they want to be - this one is part adventure story, part sci-fi, and part Indian tale - but it is 100% silver age. See also, Strange Adventures 61 (albeit a golden age book), which is also maybe a cowboy story and maybe a sci-fi book. It's too much fun. On this cover we're doing a weird Bob Brown mix-up with the "primitive natives" and some hi-tech accessories, oh, and a standard "adventure guy" who we will see a lot over the full run of covers. For me - the cover is pretty boring. Very static. Which is hard, because there's a lot going on, but movement - particularly quick movement - isn't part of that. It's meant to be quiet. And I think Bob does an okay job with that. Certainly he isn't afraid to delve into the huge palette of colors available - and that give the cover some dynamism and interest. Plus it sets the scene well, even if it is a quiet scene.
Overall? Damn...I don't know. I can respect the quality of the cover now, as an adult and an artist, but I just can't see this cover separating me from my hard earned dime. There really has to be something more in my wheelhouse on the spinner rack.
