Donald Duck #319, Gemstone Pub., September 2004. Artist: Marco Rota. I wasn’t happy with Day 319, so I protested and I picked the cover that made me smile. Marco Rota’s cover to Donald Duck #319 made me think “yeah, I’ve…
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…

Our Army At War #196, DC Comics, August 1968. Artist: Joe Kubert. Did Joe Kubert gives us a powerful political message with his cover to Our Army at War #196? In the fall of 1968 the United States was convulsing…
