Owner's Description

Maniacs. I love this cover. The characters are well defined archetypes, and the one loan word balloon sells it, rather than cluttering it. This is how you do a cover with multiple characters - each has a clearly defined roll within the art.
Look at the use of color - the boss in his yellow vest and his moll in her pink dress and pearls stand out, even though they are in the background - the much larger muscle of the gang doesn't overpower the composition due to his simple green suit. And our protagonists? Chained up and small (compared to the ape that has them in the air) they don't overpower the compostion either. The one word balloon is halfway into the masthead as is the lone box of text. Certainly this is better than any of the Inferior Five covers for Showcase.
