“Modern day covers feature busts that consume more than triple the cover space”
- gruez 4y agoThis is supported by the the last chart[1]. Breast area has gone up, but breast to waist ratio has stayed flat, indicating that they're staying the same size relative to the body. In other words, the main characters are taking up more space on the cover, and as a result breasts are taking up more space as well.

- keithnz 4y agoI think they needed to do something like breast to head ratio, from the sounds of it the waist has got bigger, but the breast to waist ratio has stayed the same. I think if it was compared to head it would give a sense of "size" increase (if any).
- simplicio 4y agoYea, just anecdotally, I feel like comic covers have gotten less horny as the target market has moved away from being exclusively teenage boys (which isn't to say there aren't still plenty of sexually titillating covers). But at the same time, as the art has gotten more sophisticated, I feel like a lot more covers have detailed images of the protagonist, rather then more "zoomed out" action seens with more going on but less fine detail.
