 How do I know this? Because I've done it myself.

| @esaravo I struggled finding the right answer because I thought that, too, but a couple sites said that was his first full cover. He had done inks on some prior covers, but I could be wrong. Definitely a learning experience for me. And that being said, I still love the theme this week. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders It's not that complicated. As long as your choice is within the spirit of the guidelines, just a pick a cover and go with it. It wouldn't be the first time that a cover didn't specifically fit the criteria. |

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| All the early voting this week is going to make it hard to tell which cover is first.... which is kind of on-theme. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_OI can’t confirm it’s his first published cover art, but at least it can be confirmed as his art due to having signed the cover. Also fwiw, an earlier possibility has been suggested by Jim Vadeboncouer(comics art historian and researcher) that Blue Beetle #26(Oct ‘43) is a Kubert cover. |

| Thanks to @steveinthecity for sending me a note on Dave Cockrum, I did some more research and get to update my entry (hopefully, with an assist from Jesse). Cockrum worked on Superboy before hitting it big with Marvel but wikipedia's bibliography doesn't list any of that as cover work. Nick Cardy did the covers for most (foreshadowing!) of the time Cockrum was doing interior work. Cockrum had created a couple of characters that he was going to introduce in the Legion of Super-Heroes, including Nightcrawler and Storm, but then he moved over to Marvel and was put on the returning X-Men book. He drew them on the cover for Giant-Size 1 but Gil Kane drew the rest and (I think) would mostly get credit for the cover, so I didn't use that. MCS' description for Uncanny 94 just says Cockrum did the art, so I thought that was his cover, but Steve pointed out that it's also signed by Kane. Looking at the MCS descriptions and cover pictures, I also don't think Cockrum did 95, 96, or 97 alone. So his first X-Men solo cover might not be until 98. But, in any event, Cockrum is credited with the cover for Superboy 199 back before the switch to Marvel. MCS says he did the pencils and inks, except Cardy did the ink on Superboy. I think as far as the contest description goes it would count as Cockrum's cover. And now I know more than I did when I woke up this morning. |

 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

@esaravo @Jesse_O - I found it to be very easy  . I just used one of my favorite artists from when I first got into comics, who themselves were fairly new onto the scene at the time. I just wish I had that Micronauts 2 back from CBCS so I could have done my normal CBCS encased entry.Toughest part for me was choosing between John Byrne and Michael Golden. I ultimately went with Golden as I felt/feel he is the better of the two artists by a hair. |

| @xkonk Yeah, Cockrum did some Superboy/LSH work before landing X-Men with Marvel. I think #199 is the only one he signed, and all the rest are by Nick Cardy and Mike Grell. |

| @southerncross Doomsday +1 #1 came before this. Byrne did the cover on that, but I think everything he did professionally before Doomsday +1 was interior. |

| @peterc777 The interior is John Byrne, but that cover is Joe Staton. Byrne did the cover on #2 and that was dated 9/75. His cover on Doomsday +1 #1 is dated 7/75. Since the Charlton books were often bi-monthly, if Byrne had done the cover to Wheelie #1, it would be tied with Doomsday. |

| Now I'm wondering what Joe Staton's first cover was. He did some pretty nifty painted covers Back In The Day. | ||
