Batman #323, DC Comics, January 1980. Artist: Dick Giordano. There were only 29 covers to choose from today and of the lot I liked Dick Giordano’s coveted cover to Batman #323, this book always flew out of the bins I…
Daredevil #322, Marvel Comics, November 1993. Artist: Scott McDaniel. Scoot McDaniel tried to convey to us an aspect of Daredevil’s unique perspective on the cover of Daredevil #322, I think. I like what he went for on this cover, innovative…
Four Color #321, Dell Publishing, March 1951. Artist: Uncredited. The cover to Four Color #321 brought such a huge smile to my face, for some reason it reminded me of an old Far Side cartoon where two Polar Bears are…
Doh!!!! Just realized I posted this a day early – apologies. X-Men #320, Marvel Comics, January 1995. Artist: Mike Joe Madureira. Joe Madureira gives us such a great sense of motion on his cover to X-Men #320, the more I…

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…
Flash #310, DC Comics, June 1982. Artist: Keith Giffen. I really like how Keith Giffen laid out the cover to Flash #310, the colour strike on the cover is a treat as well. There has been a nice batch of…
