A good cover for a comic book, whether it is DC, Marvel, or any other publisher, can launch a title into posterity. A bad comic book cover results in infamy. Throughout history, there have been controversial covers that are only relevant because they made noise, but not the good kind, usually rattling the fandom due to their content. These covers live in infamy in the comics’ archives.Whether it is because of their completely unnecessary sexual content, their unexpected violence, or even their unforgivable racism, these covers simply don’t get better with time. Some of them were pulled from the shelves as they were published, but others actually lasted a while, reminding readers that times truly change, and, luckily, this is often for the best.Although the whole thing wasn’t exactly offensive, it was definitely tasteless, especially because the comic dealt a lot with satire and celebrity culture. This is why, once the cover became public, the Royal Family demanded immediate changes. Princess Diana was replaced by an original character, Henrietta Hunter, who didn’t make it further than X-Statix as a series.
