@martymann That's what I thought. And is the best thing about showing books in forums such as these that collectors get ideas for their next aquisitions. 👍

It was kind of easy, but not entirely....

Knowing that Marty bought some of these covers might have been the reason for him buying that issue instead of another comic he could have bought that day. That made me look harder at some covers I have always, kind of, taken for granted! That was waaaaaaay cool!

That said, LOL, the Spirit cover and a few others are so classic! At the end of the day, that's how I voted. As the fanboy I am!

VOTED!

Thought it was kind of interesting to look up some of the dates: In June of 1945 young @martymann was intrigued by this cover:

Is the voting over? Time to declare the winner?

First, congratulations to @Davethebrave and in appreciation of his selection WOW #38
I will be sending it off for grading next week...will keep you posted on it's progress.
Also let me thank @EbayMafia for creating this contest and for his kind words and
continued interest in my collection.
It appears that @stevericketts entry SPIRIT #22 came in second and has already been
graded...the most valuable book in my collection.
Winner #3 appears to be WEIRD SCIENCE #18 entered by @esaravo which contains
one of the classic Ray Bradbury SF stories "Mars Is Heaven"...I'll send this one
off for grading too.
And since I always send in three books at a time I'm including ALL AMERICAN #91
submitted by @EbayMafia for grading.
Again thanks to all for participating in this contest and for the support you have
given to my collection.

Marty

Taking a closer look, the Wow series and Mary Marvel series are chock full of covers that I would call "display worthy". Didn't know much about him, but interesting biography on artist Jack Binder (brother of Otto Binder):
