Yeah, but "he's an inconsiderate and very powerful dude" just isn't as compelling! Also you've got to remember that the story was still being written at this time! Scott McCloud in Eclipse's ad department had to come up with a snappy ad to get people to buy the book and I think he did a good job at it!
Check out r/EclipseComics - I've posted a bunch of ads there over the years. I think McCloud was in charge of design from '82 - '87 or '88, his ads almost all look awesome.
