Iron Man #302, Marvel Comics, March 1994. Artist: Kevin Hopgood. Only 33 unique comic covers to choose from today, my favourite is Kevin Hopgood’s cover to Iron Man #302, just a strong battle cover with a big dose of Venom.…

Undervalued Spotlight #469
Chamber of Darkness #7, Marvel Comics, October 1970. Happy Halloween everybody, this year I’m encouraging you to give out comics, not cavities! There is one comic I’ll recommend you don’t give away on Halloween and that is this week’s Undervalued…
Covered 365: Day 301
Four Color #301, Dell Comics, November 1950. Artist: Un-credited. A fine use of light and dark and the shadows in between on the un-credited cover to Four Color #301, the Zane Grey covers are my favourite Western covers in the…
Covered 365: Day 300
Amazing Spider-Man #300, Marvel Comics, May 1988. Artist: Todd McFarlane. Day 300!! Took a while but we’re at the last landmark issue of this exercise. There have been soft days for sure but surprisingly fewer than I expected. Let’s hope…
Covered 365: Day 299
World’s Finest #299, DC Comics, January 1984. Artist: Ed Hannigan. I know its a silly cover but I like looking at Ed Hannigan’s cover to World’s Finest #299. What could be better than a cover that allows me to type…
Covered 365: Day 298
Wonder Woman #298, DC Comics, December 1982. Artist: Frank Miller. Frank Miller’s cover to Wonder Woman #298 is certainly attention-grabbing and wins the day for its shock factor. Kevin Nowlan gives us a stylistic cover to Hulk #298 that I…
Covered 365: Day 297
Incredible Hulk #297, Marvel Comics, July 1984. Artist: Bill Sienkiewicz. The water effect is fantastic on Bill Sienkiewicz’s cover to Hulk #297, that is some funky art right there. I really like Lee Week’s Typhoid Mary cover on Daredevil #297.…
Covered 365: Day 296
Batman #296, DC Comics, February 1978. Artist: Sal Amendola. I’m sure I telegraphed this pic through an old Undervalued Spotlight but I really do think Sal Amendola’s stylish cover to Batman #296 wins the day. I had to pick Dick…
Covered 365: Day 295
Amazing Spider-Man #295, Marvel Comics, December 1987. Artist: Bill Sienkiewicz. I think day #295 might have been the worst day yet! I mean I did not have one clear front runner. I went with a comic art innovator Bill Sienkiewicz’s…
Undervalued Spotlight #468
Fantastic Four #28, Marvel Comics, July 1964. On the back issue comic market the two most speculated Marvel titles for a while now have been the Fantastic Four (FF) and the X-Men, and why not, a massive fan base eagerly…
Covered 365: Day 294
Batman #294, DC Comics, December 1977. Artist: Jim Aparo. This Jim Aparo cover run on Batman is really good, on Batman #294 Jim gives us a stand out Joker cover that I’ve never had a hard time selling. Mike Zeck’s…
Covered 365: Day 293
Superman #293, DC Comics, October 1975. Artist: Bob Oksner. No great covers today but I thought there were a lot of good ones. I gave the nod to Bob Oksner’s famously silly cover to Superman #293 that has Superman being…
Covered 365: Day 292
Batman #292, DC Comics, October 1977. Artist: Jim Aparo. Least amount of options today, I counted 36 covers to choose from. At least there was a clear winner, Jim Aparo at it again with another strong cover for Batman #292.…
Covered 365: Day 291
Batman #291, DC Comics, September 1977. Artist: Jim Aparo. Day #291 was a bit underwhelming though I do think the winner is a keeper. One of the most sought after Batman covers in this era is Jim Aparo’s cover to…
Covered 365: Day 290
Four Color #290, Dell Comics, August 1950. Artist: Morris Gollub. Morris Gollub outdoes himself on the cover of Four Color #290, the pitch-black scene illuminated by the fire’s light. Joe Kubert gives us a great cover to House of Mystery…
Covered 365: Day 289
Action Comics #289, DC Comics, June 1962. Artist: Curt Swan. Shwing! Wait! What the heck is going on here? Does Superman have a thing for a woman that looks like his cousin? Keith Giffen did do some fine work on…
Covered 365: Day 288
Daredevil #288, Marvel Comics, January 1991. Artist: Lee Weeks. I bet you the 1990s have the least amount of daily prize covers so far, but first time winner Lee Weeks helps the decade out with his ominous scene on the…
Undervalued Spotlight #467
X-Men #35, Marvel Comics, August 1967. I was reading something about Warren Buffet and the way he bought stocks, it was all about finding quality and value. I thought I’d try Mr. Buffet’s technique to see if I can weed…
Covered 365: Day 287
Hellblazer #287, DC Comics, February 2012. Artist: Simon Bisley. Striking cover from Simon Bisley on Hellblazer #212, Hellblazer covers are either hit or miss for me, this one is definitely a hit. Mike Zeck! He’s been the gold standard here…
Covered 365: Day 286
Batman #286, DC Comics, April 1977. Artist: Jim Aparo. I think Day 286 is one of the best cover days we’ve had in weeks, lots of strong contenders. Jim Aparo edges out Mike Zeck with his double Joker cover on…
