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…

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…

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.…

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…
