Greatest Hits #2

Glenn Fabry's cover for this second issue of Vertigo's six-part series captures the full frenzy of '60s Beatlemania — a surging crowd of fans clutches signs reading "Be My Mate" and "You're Grand Vizier" while costumed superheroes are mobbed at the center of it all. The painterly detail is remarkable, from the tearful screaming girl in the foreground to the wild-eyed figures pressing in from every direction, selling the premise of "The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Heroes of the '60s" with real visual wit. Writer David Tischman and artist Glenn Fabry are crafting something genuinely fun here — superheroics filtered through the lens of swinging-sixties pop culture hysteria.
