What If Da Vinci Drew Comic Covers?

I was reading this post tonight and was so fascinated by it that I had to share it here.

The author talks through various compositional armatures that can be used in comic covers and gives loads of examples. Ā Reading this racks my appreciation of silver age cover artwork up a couple of notches. Ā  Ā I especially liked the examples of Archimedean spirals where the rectangle containing them is at an angle rather than having sides parallel to the edges of the cover ā€“ it’s something I’d never have thought of.
It’s well worth a look.
