Discussing the minutiae of comic book collecting.
Thor #332, Marvel Comics, June 1983. Artist: Bil Sienkiewicz. A great comic book cover matching each day of the year, 1 through 365. Please chime in with your favourite corresponding cover, from any era. The very very talented Bill Sienkiewicz…
Batman #329, DC Comics, July 1964. Artist: Carmine Infantino. A great comic book cover matching each day of the year, 1 through 365. Please chime in with your favourite corresponding cover, from any era. I like the new look Batman…
Iron Man #325, Marvel Comics, February 1996. Artist: Jim Calafiore. A great comic book cover matching each day of the year, 1 through 365. Please chime in with your favourite corresponding cover, from any era. Jim Calafiore’s cover for Iron…
Batman #324, DC Comics, June 1980. Artist: Jim Aparo. A great comic book cover matching each day of the year, 1 through 365. Please chime in with your favourite corresponding cover, from any era. With his cover to Batman #324,…
Four Color #321, Dell Publishing, March 1951. Artist: Uncredited. The cover to Four Color #321 brought such a huge smile to my face, for some reason it reminded me of an old Far Side cartoon where two Polar Bears are…
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…
Batman #294, DC Comics, December 1977. Artist: Jim Aparo. This Jim Aparo cover run on Batman is really good, on Batman #294 Jim gives us a stand out Joker cover that I’ve never had a hard time selling. Mike Zeck’s…
Superman #293, DC Comics, October 1975. Artist: Bob Oksner. No great covers today but I thought there were a lot of good ones. I gave the nod to Bob Oksner’s famously silly cover to Superman #293 that has Superman being…
Action Comics #289, DC Comics, June 1962. Artist: Curt Swan. Shwing! Wait! What the heck is going on here? Does Superman have a thing for a woman that looks like his cousin? Keith Giffen did do some fine work on…
Daredevil #288, Marvel Comics, January 1991. Artist: Lee Weeks. I bet you the 1990s have the least amount of daily prize covers so far, but first time winner Lee Weeks helps the decade out with his ominous scene on the…
Hellblazer #287, DC Comics, February 2012. Artist: Simon Bisley. Striking cover from Simon Bisley on Hellblazer #212, Hellblazer covers are either hit or miss for me, this one is definitely a hit. Mike Zeck! He’s been the gold standard here…
Batman #286, DC Comics, April 1977. Artist: Jim Aparo. I think Day 286 is one of the best cover days we’ve had in weeks, lots of strong contenders. Jim Aparo edges out Mike Zeck with his double Joker cover on…
Amazing Spider-Man #285, Marvel Comics, February 1987. Artist: Mike Zeck. Mike Zeck! I didn’t realize he had so many great covers, well he obviously had a thing for rooftops and I like the results on his cover to Amazing Spider-Man…
Captain America #284, Marvel Comics, October 1982. Artist: Mike Zeck. There’s a chill in the air this time of year in these parts, as the weather gets cooler let’s hope the covers get hotter. Let’s have a look at today’s…
Iron Man #282, Marvel Comics, July 1992. Artist: Kevin Hopgood. Come on, who doesn’t want a copy of Iron Man #282 just because of the cover, Kevin Hopgood did some good work right here. I’m really liking the vibe of…
Thor #281, Marvel Comics, April 1983. Artist: Keith Pollard. Keith Pollard gives us a great cover for Thor #281, complete with some Kirby Krackle. We get a full dose of the Thunder God and an up close look at the…
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…
Action Comics #276, DC Comics, May 1961, Artist: Curt Swan. Curt Swan wins the day with his very busy cover to Action Comics #276, it’s 1961 and doesn’t Supergirl look a little like Marilyn Monroe? I’m not sure why I…
Blackhawk #272, DC Comics, September 1984, Artist: Dan Spiegle. Hitler Cover! That would guarantee demand for any Golden Age cover. So what about this dramatic Copper Age cover to Blackhawk #272 by Dan Spiegle. Mike Zeck really grabs our attention…
House of Mystery #265, DC Comics, February 1979, Artist: Mike Kaluta. That “other Bronze Age great” Mike Kaluta gives us some nasty good stuff on his cover to House of Mystery #264. I once had a stunning raw copy of…
