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 #307, Marvel Comics, July 2012. Artist: Chris Samnee. I wanted to go Hulk but the more I looked at the cover to Chris Samnee’s Wolverine #307 the more I liked it, the last look won it for him. Mike…
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.…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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.…
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…
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…
