Wow, there is a ton of word balloon text on those covers.

Comics that hit the sweet spot! With horses and guns for boys, and that icky love stuff for girls!
I could see a whole line of such comics to attract boys and girls. SPORTS ROMANCES! WAR ROMANCES! HORROR ROMANCES! Was anyone smart enough to publish these surefire winners?

I gotta agree with Ian.
It’s like J. Michael Straczynski wrote for those covers.

HORROR ROMANCES are very popular these days, at least.

Uhh, who are you apologizing to, Bill?

It might have been a problem that two-thirds of those covers describe the basic set-up of Archie Comics, but with a LOT more words.

I thought covers had too much dialogue when I was a kid!
To Rob Schmidt– You said ‘ … horses and guns for boys, and that icky love stuff for girls!’ I really feel I have to correct you there. Horses are for GIRLS! I thought everyone knew that!

The guy in the center cover looks like an early incarnation of Jesse Custer. Looks like he was a badass Daddy-murderer back in the day (and, if her Daddy was an ex-Nazi, that would explain everything)!

Can someone explain to me how an helicopter would help in this case?

A lot of large ranches use helicopters for herding cattle. At least I’ve seen it on TV. The ranches around here are really small and don’t do things like that.
