An imaginary Avengers cover (11" x 17") featuring The Avengers vs. Psycho Man.

The characters are:

- Psycho Man (as he appeared in FF 283)
- Iron Man
- Scarlet Witch
- Yellowjacket
- Moondragon
- Captain America

-Wild Card/Surprise Character (your choice of one (1) character from the following list:

       - Wasp (in her costume from Avengers 185-191); or
       - Beast (blue and furry); or
       - Hawkeye.

- Please draw all Avengers with costumes from issues 150-191

- Please include the Avengers logo and character trademark circa Avengers issues 100 to 152 (with Vision standing in the corner). Just to confirm, 7 figures and the logo. The commissioner would like the Avengers to be smalll-sized, struggling against a giant-sized Psycho Man. The commissioner suggested something along the lines of FF 282 and 283, where Psycho Man was collecting the FF into tubes, but have some characters escaping/trying to rescue their teammates.

Whatever you think best, as long as it's small sized heroes vs. giant-sized Psycho Man.

Wow, this feels like a cover for a comic that actually exists. Just from the images I can sense the story...EXCELLENT work JB. You made me want to buy a comic that doesn't exist on cover alone.

Funny thing -- as in funny peculiar, not funny ha-ha -- as a kid I had a strong negative response when the corner symbol first showed up on the books, circa FF 14, and I have really not cared for any of the variants in the dress since. I like me a big damn LOGO that goes from one side of the cover to the other!!

I always found the corner banner useful,as the distributed Marvel comics we got over here were usually displayed on newsagents shelves that were short of space, they were usually overlapped so just the corner boxes were on show,i could easily identify and select the books i wanted,sometimes however they were just left in a pile on the bottom shelf,this meant you had to flick through the pile from top to bottom,which was very time consuming for an impatient kid!
