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…
Covered 365: Day 285
Amazing Spider-Man #285, Marvel Comics, February 1987. Artist: Mike Zeck. Mike Zeck! I didn’t realize he had so many great covers, well he obviously had a thing for rooftops and I like the results on his cover to Amazing Spider-Man…
Covered 365: Day 284
Captain America #284, Marvel Comics, October 1982. Artist: Mike Zeck. There’s a chill in the air this time of year in these parts, as the weather gets cooler let’s hope the covers get hotter. Let’s have a look at today’s…
Covered 365: Day 283
World’s Finest #283, DC Comics, September 1982. Artist: Rich Buckler. Rich Buckler’s cover to World’s Finest #283 wins hands down simply for the novelty. Is there another cover that attempts to create a half Superman/half Batman character. I wanted to…
Covered 365: Day 282
Iron Man #282, Marvel Comics, July 1992. Artist: Kevin Hopgood. Come on, who doesn’t want a copy of Iron Man #282 just because of the cover, Kevin Hopgood did some good work right here. I’m really liking the vibe of…
Covered 365: Day 281
Thor #281, Marvel Comics, April 1983. Artist: Keith Pollard. Keith Pollard gives us a great cover for Thor #281, complete with some Kirby Krackle. We get a full dose of the Thunder God and an up close look at the…
Undervalued Spotlight #466
World’s Finest #34, DC Comics, May/June 1948. It was nice seeing one of my comic pals Warren up at the shop this past weekend. The man always has a positive outlook on things which is very refreshing. Warren asked when…
Covered 365: Day 280
Captain America #280, Marvel Comics, April 1983. Artist: Mike Zeck. I think Day 280 is a good day, lead by Mike Zeck’s very strong cover to Captain America #283. John Byrne’s cover to Fantastic Four #280 caught my eye, funny…
Covered 365: Day 279
Four Color #279, Eastern Color, June 1950, Artist: Bill Wright. We’re getting less and less to choose from folks, there were only 38 covers to pick from today. Clearly the best of the lot was Bill Wright’s delightful Mickey Mouse…
Covered 365: Day 278
Hellblazer #278, DC/Vertigo Comics, June 2011, Artist: Simon Bisley. Tough slogging today! My favourite was Simon Bisley’s hard as hell cover to Hellblazer #278. I also like the scene Bob Foster gives us on the cover of Uncle Scrooge #278.…
Covered 365: Day 277
Daredevil #277, Marvel Comics, February 1990, Artist: Rick Leonardi. There are now less that 50 actual covers to choose from each day, that’s not saying there will be a lack of winners. Let’s see what today brought us. I really…
Covered 365: Day 276
Action Comics #276, DC Comics, May 1961, Artist: Curt Swan. Curt Swan wins the day with his very busy cover to Action Comics #276, it’s 1961 and doesn’t Supergirl look a little like Marilyn Monroe? I’m not sure why I…
Covered 365: Day 275
Conan #275, Marvel Comics, December 1993, Artist: Colin MacNeil. Colin MacNeil finally got Conan’s face right on his dramatic and fitting cover to Conan #275, the final issue in the epic run. This cover has always been a favourite of…
Undervalued Spotlight #465
Tomb Of Dracula #18, Marvel Comics, March 1974. Man the pants I was sporting to school in 1974, light blue with heavily checkered dark blue overlays. I remember it was the summer of 1975 when I got my first pair…
Covered 365: Day 274
Conan #274, Marvel Comics, November 1993, Artist: Colin MacNeil. What the heck?! Courage, that’s what it took to submit this cover to the editor. Hats off to Colin MacNeil for his cover to Conan #274, it gave me a Crazy…
