L.B. Cole created some of the most bizarre, proto-psychedelic,
eye-popping comic book covers of all time, yet remarkably this is the
first retrospective of his career, featuring the largest collection of
Cole covers ever assembled, in an oversize format that showcases his
attention to detail and his versatility in all the popular comic book
genres of the day. Cole burst into comics during the glory years of the
Golden Age of comics. He was famous for his bold covers, usually
featuring “poster colors” — brilliant primaries often over black
backgrounds — and an over-the-top sense of the bizarre mixed with
whimsy. There’s never been a comic book cover designer like L.B. Cole
and there’s never been a book like this one. Full-color illustrations
