The Faces of Glory - Alan Moore's Glory #0 [Martin Variant, Avatar Press]

Another of the sexy covers, I suppose, though this one is more in line with the Mychaels magazine covers than the more decidedly erotic of Martin's previous cover. Which, confusingly, was from a later issue. I have no idea why I didn't just do this in numerical order. Praise Chaos, I suppose.

This is the Matt Martin variant of issue #0 of the Avatar series. As I was writing this, I laid out the comics again, but arranged them this time numerically and then by preferred cover. I noticed what it was about the Finch and Churchill covers that makes them so different, and so much more reminiscent of the old costume: they draw the costume as a typical superhero bathing suit costume. But the Avatar artists draw it with a long, flowy loin cloth. As I noted back at the beginning of this series, Avatar Press know their audience.
