I’ve talked before on this blog about how Marshall Rogers drew some of the most iconic Batman comics… Now that Gotham Calling has a broader focus, however, I’ve decided to encorage you to bask in fifteen slick, wonderfully designed covers he did for all sorts of other properties.
Marshall Rogers was a true master of the form, able to put so much into a single image while still managing to convey a solid idea of the kind of reading experience you could expect to find inside each comic. His covers are defined by clarity, movement, and elegance. Moreover, not only did Rogers’ deft line and the easy grace of his figures often display a remarkable sense of balance, but he also had a delighful comedic touch, especially when it came to facial expressions.
