Balder the Brave #4 - Walt Simonson cover, mis-attributed art

Walt Simonson

Balder the Brave v1 #4, 1986 - Walt Simonson employs a radial cover layout, where all visual elements converge toward a focal point. Several figures placed strategically in the mid- and foreground to increase the sense of perspective. Notice how the lack of large solid black areas also serve to enhance the brightness of the scene. While this type of layout is used all too frequently due to its dynamic ease, Simonson does it better than most. Despite comic book guides attributing the story art to Simonson, it's actually Sal Buscema. This is 4 of 4 Balder the Brave issues by Simonson.
