Covered 365: Day 120
Heart Throbs #120, DC Comics, June/July 1969 – Artist: Neal Adams. I’m not going to apologize for this being a Romance Comics. The cover to Heart Throbs #120 is as scary as a pre-code horror and of course in many…

Undervalued Spotlight #443
Hot Rod Comics #1, Fawcett Publications, November 1951. This week’s Undervalued Spotlight came to me as I noticed myself checking out comics from a long forgotten genre while I was looking for worthy covers for my Covered 365 project. I…
Covered 365: Day 119
Marvel Tales #119, Atlas Comics, December 1949 – Artist: Sol Brodsky. I found a half dozen strong contenders on Day #119 and went with Marvel Tales #119 for its deliciously nasty cover. Day 119 will be the last day of…
Covered 365: Day 118
Four Color Comics #118, Dell Comics, September 1942 – Artist: unknown. I’m cheating here and paying respects to the great Tomahawk covers we’ve seen the last couple of days. Though Tomahawk #118 is a great cover but it’s another angle…
Covered 365: Day 117
Tomahawk #117, DC Comics, July/August 1968 – Artist: Neal Adams. I feel like one of those co-eds on a Charlton Romance cover, forever changing her mind. With apologies to Gerald I’m still holding to my self imposed ban on L.B…
Covered 365: Day 116
Tomahawk #116, DC Comics, May/June 1968 – Artist: Neal Adams. You cannot take your eyes off Tomahawk #116, the colors, the hues, the tones, the action, the mood, Neal knocked it out of the park with this one. While we’re…
Covered 365: Day 115
Captain America #115, Marvel Comics, July 1969 – Artist: Marie Severin. Captain America #115 has always need one of my favorite covers, simple yet striking, an easy stand out. We’re really starting to post some great picks in the comments…
Covered 365: Day 114
Blue Bolt #114, Star Publications, August 1952 – Artist: L.B. Cole. Guys!! Don’t yell, just hear me out. I looked and I looked, compared and compared because I dared not role out 2 Coles in a row (though we are…

Covered 365: Day 113
Blue Bolt #113, Star Publications, May 1952 – Artist: L.B. Cole. I was actually kind of nervous with this one. I know a couple of you guys were pointing to other books and I even went back (I had this…
Undervalued Spotlight #442
X-Men #14, Marvel Comics, November 1965. Some X-Men books are enjoying some nice value appreciation lately so I thought I’d scour the catalog and find us a sleeper. I was never a big fan of the X-Men movies but there…
Covered 365: Day 112
Journey Into Mystery #112, Marvel Comics, January 1965 – Artist: Jack Kirby. I was jonesing for a battle cover today but could not pick between Fantastic Four #112 and JIM #112, at the end of the day it was the…
Covered 365: Day 111
Captain America #111, Marvel Comics, March 1969 – Artist: Jim Steranko. Poster art at its finest, this cover is so in the zone and of the time, its great stuff from Mr. Steranko. That Unexpected #110 was a nice surprise…
Covered 365: Day 110
Blue Bolt #110, Star Publications, August 1951 – Artist: L.B. Cole. Yes we are into Cole country and this was a necessary stop. A deceptively overwhelming cover. You initially focus on the central monster but eventually the full glory of…
Covered 365: Day 109
Dick Tracy #109, Harvey Publications, March 1957 – Artist: Joe Simon. I think this is our first Joe Simon cover! Much like yesterday’s pick this cover is all about the mood of the visual, its that noir feel the way…
Covered 365: Day 108
Action Comics #108, DC Comics, May 1947 – Artist: Jack Burnley. Something about molten pots full of funky molten color. This cover is just a cool visual, the kind of cover you want the moment you see it. What else…
Covered 365: Day 107
Strange Tales #107, Marvel Comics, April 1963 – Artist: Jack Kirby. Simplicity can be overwhelming when executes nicely and Jack Kirby hit a nerve with this cover. Strange Tales #107 is one of the most iconic covers of the early…

Covered 365: Day 106
Blue Bolt Comics #106, Star Publications,June/July 1950 – Artist: L.B. Cole. Top notch stuff from one of the great cover artists of all time. Lois Lane #106 is super famous but the Blue Bolt is a better cover. Justice League…
Undervalued Spotlight #441
Tales of Suspense #40, Marvel Comics, April 1963. Its funny but my current Covered, 365 project really got me to thinking about this weeks Undervalued Spotlight, Tales of Suspense #40. Tales of Suspense #40 features the second appearance of Iron…
