Last week I should have been on the outskirts of Belgrade, Serbia for my cousin’s daughters wedding. This whole pandemic thing had them postpone, new date yet to be set. I missed the wedding so I thought I’d compensate… I…
Captain America #280, Marvel Comics, April 1983. Artist: Mike Zeck. I think Day 280 is a good day, lead by Mike Zeck’s very strong cover to Captain America #283. John Byrne’s cover to Fantastic Four #280 caught my eye, funny…
Daredevil #277, Marvel Comics, February 1990, Artist: Rick Leonardi. There are now less that 50 actual covers to choose from each day, that’s not saying there will be a lack of winners. Let’s see what today brought us. I really…
Daredevil #268, Marvel Comics, July 1989, Artist: John Romita Jr. Yikes, my Mama told me there’d be days like this. Please don’t take offence but a little dark humour is in order here, the only cover that spoke to me…

Superman #208, DC Comics, October 2004. Artist: Jim Lee. Jim Lee gives us a fantastic cover to Superman #208 (1987 series), great detail to his work and I like the composition of this piece. Neal Adams continues his brilliant cover…
Four Color #204, Eastern Color, December 1948. Artist: Paul Norris. Blame that gorgeous blue fade. Before anyone gives me any flack have a look at the covers below and tell me you wouldn’t want the Four Color #204 at the…
