So, I took a couple hours this afternoon and added DC comics from 1973 to my random "database" -- so now I'll be posting DC Comics from 1973 as well!
Here's the first random cover, with pencils & inks by Bob Oksner. As a random start for DC, it's hard to beat Supergirl's bad hair day turning the Justice League to stone.
@dubbat138 Oh MAN, I loved those Kung Fu magazines back in the day. I owned the first two you posted, and bought those mags off the stands every chance I got. But they were SO expensive in relation to single issues at the time, they were big budget breakers.
See I never read Deadly Hands back when it was coming out. But in the mid 90s found most of the issues at a comic shop that was closing. They are reader copies but at 2 bucks an issue I couldn't pass them up.

Moving away from 2000AD for a couple of days here is an iconic John Totleben cover on Miracleman #15
I remember reading that issue when it first came out and having my mind blown. I was about 14 at the time and had rarely seen a comic book that was that violent. I really hope one day all the rights issues get worked out so more people can read the series.
A tribute to Joe Kubert: let's see some of those favorite Kubert covers. The above was one of mine. In the entire original run of the DC Special, Kubert was one of only two DC artists celebrated with an issue dedicated to the stories he'd drawn. (The other had been Carmine Infantino.)
While I'm not certain if Kubert drew this cover, he was involved in it's creation, the very first 3-D comic book, done in collaboration with his friend, Norm Maurer. (Maurer was also the son-in-law of Moe Howard of Three Stooges fame, and Maurer also did a 3-D Three Stooges comic.)

It was the most horrifying comic I had read for years. Till I read Verotic's adaptation of Edward Lee's short story "Header".

Kubert only did the one cover for this series.
Loosely based on the character from the novel, Green Mansions. I believe Kubert edited this title and may have done layouts for artist Nestor Redondo.
When I think of Joe Kubert the first thing to pop in my head is all the various DC war comics he did.

Joe Kubert,this is one I have never read or ever seen. But would love to track down a copy.
Enemy Ace was such a great concept. And Mr Kubert's artwork on this cover is the main reason I picked it up.
Joe Kubert teams up with Sergio for one of my favorite covers.
I am pretty sure this issue was the first time I ever saw any Joe Kubert artwork.

Comic Book Resources had the same idea as us; here, in their opinion, are 25 great Kubert covers: goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2012/08/12/25-great-joe-kubert-covers/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
I have never seen a bad Kubert cover. He is on my list of artists that I will buy pretty much anything they do.
