Red Turned Green at DC Comics

 

 

The 1960s DC-bullet logo always had the "Superman" and the "DC" printed in red while "National Comics" was printed in black, right? Well, there was ONE exception!

Whereas the DC bullet that Jenette Kahn commissioned from designer Milton Glaser in the 1970s was amazingly color-fluid, the one time the 1960s bullet strayed from its standard color palette was on the cover of 1964's Tales of the Unexpected #85.

The main story of that issue was titled "The Day Red Turned to Green" and the cover colorist played it to the hilt in a meta-kind of way by toying with the bullet logo. Bravo!
