It is quite usual to find fans of comic book cover art but finding fans of a small, yet important part of it is a rarity
Marvel Comics in the silver-age started the concept of corner boxes on its covers which would show figureheads of the characters starring in a particular comic title
The corner box tradition carried on for decades or till the early 90s until they got replaced by logos of characters to mark a change in approach until they were abandoned for good. However, what remains noticeable about the corner boxes is not just the art but a cult-following they enjoy. For examples on instagram, http://instagram.com/corn... ">cornerboxart is an account that enjoys more than a thousand followers. This account is dedicated to promoting and preserving Marvel’s corner box art through its posts . Similarly, there are many accounts on pinterest that share and celebrate the classic, yet now abandoned, tradition. Even https://www.cbr.com">CBR did https://www.cbr.com/think... ">an appreciation piece on them back in 2016
Like the comic book covers, these memorable works of art are now recognized as part of the pop-art culture/craze. https://www.thinkgeek.com... ">ThinkGeek.com’s home & office decor section is addressing the demand of corner box decor items and with the passage of time, the following is on the rise as more and more geeks, comic book converts are realizing the importance of the greatest era in comics
In the end, whoever made this “mother of all” corner box art (below) has done a great service to the community as well as paid the best tribute to all the artists who gave Classic Marvel fans wonderful memories
