| Oh, wow. This is a hard one. Horror? Definitely Wrightson. No, wait ... Mignola. Everything that guy does is horror. And wonderful. Or maybe some classic Neal Adams? Like Detective 408, or one with Man-Bat or Deadman, or even Batman 227. (Or maybe go further, with the original Detective 31?) Do I pick just a great cover, or, instead, a decent cover that represents a great story? (Like Afterlife with Archie?) And I found some nice ones by Adam Hughes, like Fairest #7 ... creepy. Soooo many to choose from. Finally I decided: great horror cover art AND a great story. And one I bought off the rack, too...  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tedsaid I also have this book and reading it back in the 80's had my jaw hitting the floor. I mean, how do you describe the images in this issue. You actually have to start with a few pages from the issue before in the locker room to. Funny thing is, I didn't buy any issues after that one. I have the entire run up to that issue. I felt that was it, a perfect ending to a good run and anything else after that would be a let down. |

| So many horrific covers from Deadworld. Issues 1-9 were through Arrow then moved to Caliber Comics at the end of 1988 and ran through 16 more issues (making the first volume a 26 issue run)Another 15 issue volume started in 1993 through Caliber again when the first hit the 26th issue. In 2005, image Comics printed 6 issues for Desperado Publishing. Joe Pruett worked at Caliber after leaving for Marvel and eventually starting Desperado (So that's the connection and this is 10 years before he will start Aftershock Comics with Mike Marts)  |

| @roarzola It's definitely not for everyone but if you're a horror/gore aficionado, this is a series you should definitely give a shot, if not just for the cover art |

| So, how does the voting work? Do we only vote once, or do we up-vote all the covers we like? | ||
