Mr. Byrne, in re: JLA #67 - you are certainly right that showing Wonder Woman resting on the hoop was a disservice to her character and abilities, and there are a couple other things that bugged me about that cover.
Of all the heroes, Superman, Wonder Woman, and J'onn have super strength... so why is Batman struggling holding it? (Even if Manhunter from Mars was no longer involved in JLA stories.) And even acknowledging the Bat-mania of the time... surely putting Batman front, top, and center could have given that service!
The perspective is all wrong. Superman, Batman, and the Atom, Green Arrow, and Hawkman are in one pretty straight perspective. GL kinda works... but what are Flash and Aquaman standing on ? And how did the Atom fit through that ring?
I know it's just a cover, it's just there to sell the comic, and it's by brand new super star Neal Adams. But I'd like it to look close to right, and this just looked close to wrong to me.
TANGENT: Goodness me, there seems to be a lot of Jim Aparo covers here. How nice! I wish there more of Mr. Byrne's work... but as we know, while he loves Batman, he just didn't do all that many Batman stories. (Still, I'll bet somebody's first book was a Generations title...)
