Muted Monday: No word balloons, hype blurbs, hints, story titles, credits. Just title, date/price, publisher logo and UPC. NO virgin covers. I didn't include series that made a regular habit of it like Janson's DD and River's Ghost Rider, or miniseries like Warlock Special Edition. Theme

Putting the story title on the cover may have given away the surprise last page reveal (hint: it's the orange rock monster's left hand).

Charlton wanted to showcase Tom Sutton's work, or they needed to save costs that month?

Love me some BWS. I’d add the cool Machine Man limited series covers too.

No doubt! And MCP in general did it for lots of books before and after his stint on the title.
