Donald Duck #319, Gemstone Pub., September 2004. Artist: Marco Rota. I wasn’t happy with Day 319, so I protested and I picked the cover that made me smile. Marco Rota’s cover to Donald Duck #319 made me think “yeah, I’ve…

Superman #317, DC Comics, November 1977. Artist: Neal Adams. Hey! Day 317 had some strong covers, nice to see this deep in. I had to go with Neal Adams’ cover to Superman #317, so dramatic, so Adams! Todd McFarlane’s cover…
Amazing Spider-Man #316, Marvel Comics, June 1989. Artist: Todd McFarlane. Day #316 gave us a modern era classic and then a bunch of meh covers. There is no denying Todd McFarlane’s Amazing Spider-Man #316 cover, next to ASM #300 this…
Mystery in Space #1, DC Comics, April/May 1951. This week’s Undervalued Spotlight has been on my radar for a while, two recent sales results have convinced me it was time to dust off and shine this week’s Spotlight on Mystery…
World’s Finest #315, DC Comics, May 1985. Artist: Ed Hannigan. Ed Hannigan’s eye-catching cover to World’s Finest #315 brings me back to some of the great pre-code horror eyeball covers, he goes a great job with this cover. It’s hard…
Sgt. Rock, DC Comics, March 1978. Artist: Joe Kubert. I thought Day #314 was a little wanting, though I really like Joe Kubert’s cover to Sgt. Rock #314, it has the smell of one of those old men’s adventure magazines…
Amazing Spider-Man #313, Marvel Comics, March 1898. Artist: Todd McFarlane. It was really tight between the Hulk cover and the Spidey cover but in the end I thought I’d award the originality and ferociousness of Todd McFarlane’s cover to Amazing…
Amazing Spider-Man #312, Marvel Comics, February 1989. Artist: Todd McFarlane. Day 312 was an easy day, Todd McFarlane’s cover to Amazing Spider-Man #312 was the class of the field. J. Scott Campbell’s eye popping cover to Wolverine #312 did not…
Hulk #311, Marvel Comics, September 1985. Artist: Mike Mignola. A classic comic book cover scene, albeit with role reversal, you can really see Mike Mignola’s Hellboy art style in the skulls on the eye catching cover of Hulk #311. Todd…

Incredible Hulk #309, Marvel Comics, July 1985. Artist: Mike Mignola. Day 309 was a tough day, the four I picked I liked but there was no clear winner for me. Mike Mignola’s cover to Hulk #309 gave me a Frazetta…

Amazing Spider-Man #308, Marvel Comics, November 1988. Artist: Todd McFarlane. Todd McFarlane’s cover to Amazing Spider-Man #308 is the easy winner today, powerful cover with great use of colors and shades. My boy Dick Dillin is back with a sizzling…

Wolverine #306, Marvel Comics, July 2012. Artist: Chris Samnee. What did Chris Samnee do to the cover of Wolverine #306? I’m not sure but one thing I am sure of is I want a copy. If it wasn’t for Samnee’s…
Captain America #305, Marvel Comics, March 1985. Artist: Paul Neary. I thought Day #305 was so so, the best of the bunch for me was Paul Neary’s Captain America #305 cover. Todd McFarlane continues to impress with a solid cover…
Thor #304, Marvel Comics, February 1981. Artist: Keith Pollard. Today I liked Keith Pollard’s Thor against the world cover for Thor #304. I’ve seem many of these cute Marvel cover but I think Dale Keown’s take on Wolverine #304 super…
Avengers #303, Marvel Comics, May 1989. Artist: John Buscema. I’m such a John Buscema fanboy, I saw his cover to Avengers #303 and it sent me back to that late 60s style of his that produced so many classic covers.…
