Covered 365: Day 301
Four Color #301, Dell Comics, November 1950. Artist: Un-credited. A fine use of light and dark and the shadows in between on the un-credited cover to Four Color #301, the Zane Grey covers are my favourite Western covers in the…
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 263
Uncle Scrooge #263, Walt Disney, February 1992, Artist: Don Rosa. Any one of these would have handily won the day yesterday. I was always a Carl Barks guy until someone years ago showed me a hardcover book celebrating Don Rosa’s…
Covered 365: Day 233
Superman #233, DC Comics, January 1971. Artist: Neal Adams. Neal Adams steals the show with his iconic cover to Superman #233, this cover just stands out. One of my favourite comics in my collection is Undercover Girl #6 so it’s…
Covered 365: Day 230
Batman #230, DC Comics, March 1971. Artist: Neal Adams. I’ve always liked Neal Adams’ cover to Batman #230, hard in grade with that black background. Captain America #230 wasn’t far behind, strong cover from Ron Wilson. I’m also digging the…
Covered 365: Day 222
Wonder Woman #222, DC Comics, December 2005. Artist: J.G. Jones. Day 222 will be themed, it belongs to the adversaries squaring off covers lead by J.G. Jones’ striking Wonder Woman #212 (1987 series). Marc Silvestri adds to the theme with…
Covered 365: Day 219
X-Factor #219, Marvel Comics, July 2011. Artist: David Yardin. David Yardin delivers a striking cover for X-Factor #219, the composition of the action scene is top notch but his use of light sends this cover to the next level, great…
Covered 365: Day 213
House of Mystery #213, DC Comics, April 1973. Artist: Bernie Wrightson. Just some nasty good Gargoyles from the pencil of Bernie Wrightson, I love background colours on this cover. A striking cover from J.G. Jones on Wonder Woman #213 (1987…
Covered 365: Day 207
Strange Adventures #207, DC Comics, December 1967. Artist: Neal Adams. Runaway winner today has to be Neal Adams and his wonderful cover to Strange Adventures #207. Chris noted in the comments yesterday how good Adams is at faces and that…
Covered 365: Day 203
Amazing Spider-Man #203, Marvel Comics, April 1980. Artist: Frank Miller and Jim Mooney. I clearly recall trying to hoard Amazing Spider-Man #203, I thought Dazzler was a character on the rise and a very early appearance embedded in the Amazing…
Covered 365: Day 202
Superman #202, DC Comics, April 2004. Artist: Michael Turner. I found Day 202 to be a bit wanting so I resolved not to pick any of the what I found mediocre standbys. I thought I’d go and highlight a little…
Covered 365: Day 200
Avengers #200, Marvel Comics, October 1980. Artist: George Perez. Here we are at another milestone, Day 200! This project has been so eye-opening, making me look at all covers way more closely than I did in the past. DC Comics…
Covered 365: Day 199
Wonder Woman #199, DC Comics, April 1972. Artist: Jeff Jones. Jeff Jones’ cover to Wonder Woman #199 is scary good, I know Jones likes to channel Frazetta but he owns this classic. Carmine Infantino’s Superman #199 is a worthy winner…
Covered 365: Day 195
House of Mystery #195, DC Comics, October 1971. Artist: Bernie Wrightson. Bernie Wrightson lights it up on House of Mystery #195, scary, heavy use of shadow that can trick you on 1st glance but no question this is amazing art.…
Covered 365: Day 192
Famous Funnies #192, Eastern Color, August 1948. Artist: Walt Kelly. Some unnamed commenter likened yesterday’s Four Color #191 to cereal box art, well I for one couldn’t disagree more. Today I throw down Four Color #192, an impossible to dis…
Covered 365: Day 189
Batman #189, DC Comics, February 1967. Artist: Carmine Infantino. The Scarecrow is one of those great villains that always seems to produce standout covers, Carmine Infantino does a nice job reintroducing the Scarecrow! Wonder Woman has the rare honour (I…
Covered 365: Day 186
Flash #186, DC Comics, March 1969. Artist: Ross Andru. Ross Andru packs a visual wallop with his cover to Flash #186. This book has always stood out in the Flash run. Adam Hughes keeps working his magic with Wonder Woman #186.…
Covered 365: Day 178
Wonder Woman #178, DC Comics, Sept/Oct 1968, Artist: Mike Sekowsky. That power pose on the cover of Wonder Woman #178 signaled a new beginning, cover after cover of an empowered Wonder Woman taking charge and kicking butt. Too bad it…

Wonder Woman #172 (1987), DC Comics, September 2001, Artist: Adam Hughes . Wonder Woman #172, beautiful yet somber, you feel like you shouldn’t be looking. Hey check out that Casper #172 pic, the cover reminded me of Maple Leaf goalies come…
