It's not often that we get a comic cover that contains word balloons on them anymore. It seems that word ballons on a cover are a part of the Silver Age, and that's why this week's Comic Cover of the Week goes to Superman #655.
This month's cover to the Boy in Blue is pretty interesting. It certainly brings back memories of books I read when I was younger, when word ballons were pretty much a norm. And it not just the word ballons, but it's the fonts used on the text that evoke a response from a potential buyer. It looks like the direction DC wants to take their titles to with their One Year Later "relaunch" is working, if they keep up with "retro" covers and stories. I'm along for the ride!
