Four Color #123, Dell Comics, October 1946 – Artist: Tom McKimson. I mentioned in the comments section of yesterdays post that I thought these early Four Color books were underappreciated then lo and behold this cover pops up on Day…
Amazing Spider-Man #122, Marvel Comics, July 1973 – Artist: John Romita. Everything there was missing on the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #121 is there in spades on Amazing Spider-Man #122, the action, the drama, the villain, the girl, the scene…

Falling in Love #121, DC Comics, February 1971 – Artist: Tony DeZuniga. I remember back when I was thinking about doing this project, I had some issues already picked way in advance. I wrote a quick list down, Surfer #4,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
A gathering of wonderful art spotted by yours truly these last few days: Colan, Giacoia, Davis, Neary, Kane, Sutton, Ranson, Herriman.
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…
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
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…
A gathering of wonderful art spotted by yours truly these last few days: Fastner, Larson, Davis, Neary, Day, Tuthill, Van Buren.
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…
