Covering the Champions

Marvel Comics used various approaches when picturing heroes on team book covers. The Champions, for example, displayed only Hercules in the upper-left corner of covers throughout most of the series. The color of Hercules' headband changed from red to brown to green as the series progressed, but otherwise the illustration remained consistent. Not until #16 did the corner picture all five founding members of the team.

 
 
 
  • Hercules
  • Black Widow
  • Angel
  • Ghost Rider
  • Iceman

The corner image of Ghost Rider changed slightly in #17, the final issue of the series.
