Owner's Description

Big Apple. The Gorilla Witch! Sometimes I think that if it were not for DC, I never would have learned to spell gorilla. No really. What an odd fascination with our cousins the apes they have had over the years.

This cover is a little tough on me - I want to like it for what it is: a thinking, talking gorilla with an eye-patch, stirring a witch's cauldron. But - the word balloon distracts me too much, the eye-patch looks forced, and the draftsmanship of the gorilla itself is far from the quality I expect from DC. Even the colors are muted without having the coolness of being grey-toned. All in all, the title for the cover story intrigues, but the cover artist failed pretty badly on convincing me to part with 12 cents for this reading enjoyment.
