Week 26: Half Way There
A lot has happened since I started this 26 weeks ago, lets all stay positive and lets all help others in any way we can. I’m continuing my sharing of great splash pages I find while preparing listings for sale…
Week 10: more free styling
My mind is all over the place this week so I thought it best if the splash pages were all over the place as well. Yowzers! This splash from Hangman #3 is just nasty. Comics.org has Mort Leav and John…
Covered 365: Day 345
Batman #345, DC Comics, March 1982. Artist: Gene Colan. 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. Only 20 more sleeps ’til the…
Covered 365: Day 340
Incredible Hulk #340, Marvel Comics, February 1988. Artist: Todd McFarlane. 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. Similar to Thor #337 in…
Covered 365: Day 328
Amazing Spider-Man #328, Marvel Comics, January 1990. Artist: Todd McFarlane. 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 really wasn’t happy with…
Covered 365: Day 317
Superman #317, DC Comics, November 1977. Artist: Neal Adams. Hey! Day 317 had some strong covers, nice to see this deep in. I had to go with Neal Adams’ cover to Superman #317, so dramatic, so Adams! Todd McFarlane’s cover…
Covered 365: Day 316
Amazing Spider-Man #316, Marvel Comics, June 1989. Artist: Todd McFarlane. Day #316 gave us a modern era classic and then a bunch of meh covers. There is no denying Todd McFarlane’s Amazing Spider-Man #316 cover, next to ASM #300 this…
Covered 365: Day 314
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…
Covered 365: Day 313
Amazing Spider-Man #313, Marvel Comics, March 1898. Artist: Todd McFarlane. It was really tight between the Hulk cover and the Spidey cover but in the end I thought I’d award the originality and ferociousness of Todd McFarlane’s cover to Amazing…
Covered 365: Day 312
Amazing Spider-Man #312, Marvel Comics, February 1989. Artist: Todd McFarlane. Day 312 was an easy day, Todd McFarlane’s cover to Amazing Spider-Man #312 was the class of the field. J. Scott Campbell’s eye popping cover to Wolverine #312 did not…
Covered 365: Day 311
Hulk #311, Marvel Comics, September 1985. Artist: Mike Mignola. A classic comic book cover scene, albeit with role reversal, you can really see Mike Mignola’s Hellboy art style in the skulls on the eye catching cover of Hulk #311. Todd…
Covered 365: Day 305
Captain America #305, Marvel Comics, March 1985. Artist: Paul Neary. I thought Day #305 was so so, the best of the bunch for me was Paul Neary’s Captain America #305 cover. Todd McFarlane continues to impress with a solid cover…
Covered 365: Day 303
Avengers #303, Marvel Comics, May 1989. Artist: John Buscema. I’m such a John Buscema fanboy, I saw his cover to Avengers #303 and it sent me back to that late 60s style of his that produced so many classic covers.…
Covered 365: Day 300
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…
Covered 365: Day 299
World’s Finest #299, DC Comics, January 1984. Artist: Ed Hannigan. I know its a silly cover but I like looking at Ed Hannigan’s cover to World’s Finest #299. What could be better than a cover that allows me to type…
Covered 365: Day 298
Wonder Woman #298, DC Comics, December 1982. Artist: Frank Miller. Frank Miller’s cover to Wonder Woman #298 is certainly attention-grabbing and wins the day for its shock factor. Kevin Nowlan gives us a stylistic cover to Hulk #298 that I…

Covered 365: Day 241
Captain America #241, Marvel Comics, January 1980, Artist: Frank Miller. Frank Miller’s cover to Captain America #241 has always been a standout and its always been an in-demand book. The dream team of Neal Adams pencils and Bernie Wrightson inks…
