Comic Con Haul!
The Toronto Comic Con was a couple of weeks ago, and as usual, I had a list of items I wanted to pick up to complete some runs or just to pick up for the sake of reading runs I…
Covered 365: Day 91
Brave and the Bold #91 – DC Comics, August/September 1970 – Artist: Nick Cardy (pencils and inks). So I actually spent time looking for some lame blank sketch variant #91 as my April Fools post, when I could not find…
Covered 365: Day 90
Wings Comics #90 – Fiction House, February 1948 – Artist: Bob Lubbers. I’m back on the girl in the impossibly precarious situation wagon and there’s no arguing this one fits the bill. Wings #90 has been super hot on the…
Covered 365: Day 89
Famous Funnies #89 – Eastern Color, December 1941 – Artist: Harry G. Peter. This cover by Harry G. Peter just explodes off the page, it was hard to ignore once I’d seen it. I’ve never seem an actual copy of…
Covered 365: Day 88
Dark Horse Presents #88 – Dark Horse Comics, August 1994 – Artist: Mike Mignola. I’ve been looking at a lot of covers over these past few months and one era that has been disappointing has been the 1990s so when…
Web Arted #353
A gathering of wonderful art spotted by yours truly these last few days: Cheung, Morales, Bertram, Chaykin, Buscema, Bolton.
Covered 365: Day 87
Avengers #87 – Marvel Comics, August 1959 – Artist: John Buscema. Another striking cover from the mighty, mighty John Buscema. A few days ago I was lamenting how hard it was finding a cover, today I’m lamenting how hard it…

Covered 365: Day 86
Green Lantern #86 – DC Comics, October/November 1971, Artist – Neal Adams. I didn’t want to do it but I had to. Green Lantern #85 and #86 are inseparable and unique in that they are a continuation of the same…
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 84
Star Spangled War Stories #84 – DC Comics, August 1959 – Artist: Irv Novick. I had Wings and Jumbo on the list but went with a personal favorite, Star Spangled War Stories #84. I like it when a character is…
Covered 365: Day 83
Lois Lane #83 – DC Comics, May 1968 – Artist: Irv Novick (according to DC Wiki), Neal Adams (according to comics.org). Can anyone confirm which? I didn’t pick Undercover Girl #6 on Day 6 and I really wanted to but…
Covered 365: Day 82
Catwoman #82 – DC Comics, February 1972 – Artist: Adam Hughes. I also liked the cool robot cover to Famous Funnies #82 among a few others but this Adam Hughes cover is one of his best. A great comic book…
Covered 365: Day 81
Teen Age Love #82 – Charlton Comics, February 1972 – Artist: Torre Riposo. I can honestly say Day 81 is the 1st day that I had difficulty picking a cover. I didn’t want to cheat and pick Ghost Rider because…
Web Arted #352
A gathering of wonderful art spotted by yours truly these last few days: Kirby, Trimpe, Buckingham, Faucher, Jetter, Harris.
Covered 365: Day 80
Tales of Suspense #80 – Marvel Comics, August 1966 – Artist: Jack Kirby. I’ve always loved this cover, great stuff from King Kirby. A great comic book cover matching each day of the year, 1 through 365. Please chime in…

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…
Covered 365: Day 78
Avengers #78 – Marvel Comics, July 1970 – Artist: John Buscema. The mighty mighty John Buscema at it again, I love this cover. A great comic book cover matching each day of the year, 1 through 365. Please chime in…
