Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
Have you ever looked at the cover of a comic and wondered what narcotics the artist was on? Well, no need to hunt down those back issues, as ComicBookDaily.com tears open these mindboggling gems and determines if the story inside lives up to these fantastic covers.
This one may be more a “technically incorrect” cover versus our normal crazy covers: Hawkeye issue 1 variant cover by Adi Granov. I am a compound bow owner and target shooter so there’s some experience speaking here. Take a look…
Oh look, a Batman cover from Francesco Francavilla in that retro pulp style of his. Very nice. What’s that? It’s a Black Panther cover for issue 529? Wow: DC, get that lawyer patrol on the case. And why is Black…
Putting aside any jokes about this being an Oz-like shower scene, this cover is disturbing and hilarious on a number of levels. I like to interpret it as a metaphor: Ed McGuinness is claiming the title of “artist of absurd musculature” from Rob Liefield.
Apparently there was not a single dictionary at the Marvel office in 1975. That is the only reason I can think of for suggesting that circus spelled sideways is death. Also, is that guy throwing live bats as if they…
This is actually one of my favourite covers, but it doesn’t really make sense. Normally when people talk about cancelling Christmas it is because the have no money, or some disaster has befallen them around December, or they are using…
The most long-awaited battle? Not true then. Not true now.
The Cover: Unless Lois Lane happened to get freaky-deaky with a Native American at some point in the comics and had a baby real quick, it’s safe to say that she has stolen someone’s baby. I can only imagine years…
The Cover: What can I say? It’s Wonder Woman flipping Lois Lane over her head while Superman is sitting on a rock enjoying the show. Why are they fighting? Well, because Wonder Woman is apparently like the bully at the…
The Cover: Um, I’m not quite sure what else can I say about this cover. Lois Lane seems to have Superman chained down to a table with Kryptonite chains while a crazy-looking puppet Superman is being whipped by Lois Lane…
The Cover: Obviously Sinestro has become tired of Hal Jordan being known as the playboy of the cosmic seas and is determined to upstage him. Sinestro has bound Hal to some kind of weird yellow table construct that looked like…
The Cover: I love this cover, we’ve got what appears to be Jean Loring dressed up ina a fancy dress commanding a ragged Hawkman and Atom to work or die! It’s got that whole Egyptian slave thing where they are…
The Cover: Well, it looks like Batman and Superman are begging to be killed because they have some kind of super-secret plan to escape their situation or they have realized that they are in love with each other and since…
The Cover: Why does Jimmy Olsen even consider Superman a friend? Superman apparently can’t take a joke or something, as he tells Jimmy off for being a wise-guy and rebuffs his pleas to being rescued from the slum! Can we…
The Cover: This is a Crazy Comic Cover (CCC) first! We’re going to be featuring a comic that has not one but two covers! The O’Neil and Adams run on GL/GA was fairly groundbreaking run which covered a wide variety…
The Cover: Booster Gold; the used car salesman of the DC universe is laying a pounding on Superman it seems. He’s smushing his face into the mud while Superman’s chin apparently has a water faucet in it judging by the…
The Cover: Oh Superman, why won’t you stop beating up your teammates? Do they have battered wife syndrome where they keep coming back to you after they beat you up? You would be hard pressed to find a superhero who…
The Cover: Oh Superman, why won’t you stop beating up your teammates? Do they have battered wife syndrome where they keep coming back to you after they beat you up? You would be hard pressed to find a superhero who…
The Cover: Looks like Superman has somehow gotten himself stranded on some kind of unusual planet where his powers don’t work…for the 100th time. But what’s different this time is that he’s attempting flight with some half-assed glider wings as…
The Cover: Looks like we have Superman strapped to some kind of crazy love meter that will determine who he loves more; Lois Lane or Lana Lang. Of course, Superman doesn’t know that it’s a love meter and has been…
The Cover: Well, The Flash simply seems to be killing someone with his super-speed. How? I got no clue how the Flash is killing this guy, all I can see is that his clothes seem to be flying off. So…
