AVENGERS: THE COVER
CORNER BOXES AVENGERS: THE COVER
CORNER BOXES
by Sean McQuaid
An obvious but oft-overlooked aspect of any Marvel comic book
collection is the little illustration in the top left-hand corner
of the
cover, commonly known as the corner box since the illustration is
usually
framed in a vertical rectangle (though at times the rectangle has
been
replaced by other designs, such as a circular frame or a
rectangular strip
that runs the length of the book's spine). In the case of
Avengers comics,
the illustration that fills this space usually consists of one or
more
Avengers characters--most often their faces, but sometimes full
figure
drawings. That's what makes the corner box interesting when
you're flipping
through your collection. The corner box isn't always a complete
or accurate
reflection of the current Avengers cast, but it is a visual
shorthand for
who and what the Avengers are. In short, the corner box
illustrations give
us some idea of which characters Marvel regards as representative
of the
Avengers. As such, they make for interesting browsing...
