Temple Classic Cover 24 (c) Kyle Kimmons
This issue marked the departure of the Temple's founding member, Kyle Kimmons, who had briefly returned as Central Mailer to help keep things on track. He did pop into the Temple on a few occasions after, but never stayed long.
I'm sure he's still out there somewhere, clad in a Zorro mask, waxing his moustache and fighting crime.
I love the minimilism. the open space, even the typeface is understated. For that reason, I actualy think this is my favourite cover. If I were the art director of a print run of new temples I think that is what I would go for on the cover of the first issue. I just love it. less is sometimes more.
ReplyDeleteAnd the guy is slightly un-nerving too, hes a jolly super hero alright, but actualy, he's a skinned man isn't he? with the muscles scored out and a pale skull cap. he has the look of a medical diagram. so theres something curious going on. nuance.
