I'm sure I like a lot of the same things Alex Ross does, and he's extraordinarily skillfull, but would this cut it as a comic book cover? Never mind the untouchable painted covers that were standard at Dell or Gold Key; would this work grab attention like a cover of Special Strange (which it seems much closer to, in spirit)?

So this scene right here from Uncanny X-Men (1963) #150 by Chris Claremont & Dave Cockrum was the first time ever that Magneto’s tragic origins as a Holocaust survivor were revealed as a central component of the character’s backstory (when he was originally conceived by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby during the Silver Age, Magneto was just your standard one-note bad guy hell bent on world-domination):

This powerful scene & revelation served as the beginning of Magneto’s long-running character arc of seeking to reform from his past supervillain roots, whilst working alongside the X-Men throughout the duration of Claremont’s run. Heck, Magnus even later reconciled with Kitty Pryde in Uncanny X-Men (1963) #199 by Chris Claremont & John Romita Jr. as the two bonded over their shared generational Jewish trauma at a National Holocaust Memorial event.
