A Comic Cover A Day (is awesome)

WetRats

I was reunited with my comics a few months ago (after 10 years, and not really looking at them for closer to 17). I was sorting them when I came across this cover. It made me LOL which gets it posted here!

Love those Go-Go Checks!

WetRats

Jazz Hands!

@dubbat138 the first 20-30 issues of Defenders were some of my favorites. Love the covers, love the stories, *especially* the Steve Gerber run!

@peedmyself That is pretty dang funny...bit more "realistic" than those 50's romance covers...

So, back in 1973, here's another cover by John Romita, Sr., it appears.

Also, note to self, if I'm considering sitting down to a poker game with three guys who look like this, maybe I should find another game...

Caliban

More Steranko Nick Fury

RobAnderson

@Caliban Love it! He did such amazing work on so many of those covers...

WetRats

Those Steranko S.H.I.E.L.D. covers are so freaking groovy!

(And decidedly inspired by The (Steed & Peel) Avengers and Our Man Flint.)

WetRats

OK. Not a comic cover, but one of my favorites nonetheless.



Of course NatLamp did have comics in it...

RobAnderson

@WetRats As much as the image makes me wince, it IS a classic! (ha)

Caliban

@RobAnderson Love those Marvel horror covers

This thread continues to do great things

RobAnderson

@Caliban Yeah, I'm not only enjoying, but learning a lot, too. I don't associate Romita Sr. with horror covers, yet several have popped up from 1973 already...and, of course, I'm seeing tons of U.K. stuff I didn't know about! ;)

My dog told me to dislike this...or else.... :-q

I love the Gerber run. Also the David Kraft run was good.

RobAnderson

@dubbat138 Agreed! And the issues before Gerber as well -- Englehart, maybe?

Heck, Defenders was just one of my favorite titles as a kid.

I even had a subscription (which meant they arrived FOLDED in HALF...ha)

Dave Gibbons

One of my favorite Brit comics was the original Death’s Head. The later stuff was pure drivel, but the first series was comedy gold.



Cover by Bryan Hitch.

Yeah Englehart's run was also good. Really in it's 152 issue run there is very very few bad issues of the Defenders.

Caliban

Some more UK stuff. A 1980 Doctor Who Weekly with Dave Gibbons again

Then he'll really hate this one.

(I laughed-out-quietly......very quietly)

Same here....I don't want Kenji to see this. (He's a gorilla with a baseball bat for those who don't know. ;) )

Don't want the dog to hear, eh?

Yet another horror cover popped up today from 1973, and it's another Gil Kane cover!

This one had interior reprints from Adventures Into Weird Worlds (1952).

In the name of heaven--it's splintery tentacle porn!

He was obviously ahead of his time in the Manga world.

Or an outtake from the Evil Dead remake.
