Covered 365: Day 86

Covered 365: Day 85
Green Lantern #85 – DC Comics, August/September 1971 – Artist: Neal Adams. Controversial, shocking and much sought after. One of Neal Adams’ signature covers. A great comic book cover matching each day of the year, 1 through 365. Please chime…
Undervalued Spotlight #438
Fantastic Four Annual #1, Marvel Comics 1963. Ok here’s a first for Comic Book Daily (I think). After much deliberation I’ve decided to dust off Mike Huddleston’s old Overvalued Overstreet #14 featuring Fantastic Four Annual #1, which he posted almost…

Covered 365: Day 79
Strange Adventures #79 – DC Comics, April 1957 – Artist: Gil Kane. Remember that Bugs Bunny when Bugs and Daffy couldn’t shake the Abomidable Snowman. Abomidable follows Bugs (George) to Miami Beach I think and keeps telling Bugs (who is…
