Please continue to ignore anything I post. southerncross private msg quote post Address this user
The most popular looking covers generally have homages done by later artists even decades after the original cover was published.

Impossible for me to ID my favorite cover, but ASM-77 is special to me as it was my very first superhero purchase (1969) which liberated me from The Archies.

So many to choose from, but Jim Lee’s been my favorite artist since his X-Men run. To date, this is still my favorite cover of his.

Lots of Beauties listed here!

Favorites being

@flanders Cap #110 (always loved that cover )


@Bakersman Spider-man #1 (That McFarlane Cover has always been legendarily awesome!)


The cover that hands down left it's biggest impression on me was Mike Zeck's Punisher. If I could hang only one on my wall this would be it.





Running a close 2nd would be the Boris Vallejo Cover from Savage Sword of Conan #10

I've never owned one, not in my collecting wheelhouse, but I have always loved the cover.

The bright yellow background absolutely makes this cover POP. The red flame and the floating eyes are just the cherry on top. My favorite cover by far.

I have a Silver Surfer (1987) #6 that fits that exact same description. A dollar bin book that I had autographed back in the day. Spent $18 on grading and $25 on signature verification and got back a graded and verified 4.5. This is the book that got me back into comics in the late 80's. Priceless!

ROM #5

this is THE book/cover that got me into comics and only ~37-38 years after it’s release. This cover made me want to know what was going on inside. I’ve read it, re read it, and re re read it. I love it and the exact copy will eventually be slabbed regardless of grade.

Rom is one of my all-time favorites. When the first issue came out in the late '70s, I had zero interest in it because it was based on a terrible action figure. But every month, I'd see the newest issue on the rack, and I finally decided to pick up one, which was issue 14. I enjoyed it so much that I convinced my mom to let me get a subscription, which started with issue 16. I had the subscription almost through the entire run of the series. One of the first graded books that I acquired when I got back into collecting last year was a 9.8 of Rom 1.
