10 Terrible Comic Book Covers Marvel Wants You To Forget

6. Wolverine Revolver #1

When an artist is given the honor of illustrating the cover for a comic book, there are a few important aspects of the character that need to remain without much alteration.

While some may alter a costume or throw a little extra facial hair onto a guy's face, it's incredibly important that the character on the cover looks like the intended character within the comic.

Folks like Wolverine have been around for decades with pretty much the same look. When that look is altered, the fans tend to unite in protest, but none so vehemently as with the release of Wolverine Revolver.

The best way to describe Julio Das Pastoras' work on the cover is ugly. The costume is correct, but drawn strangely with a grotesque focus on the mouth and asymmetric muscle definition. The look on Logan's face is distorted and strange, which is why this cover is often considered to be the least appealing to look at across all of Marvel's publishing history.
