@rebis those are some great Captain Marvel covers, for sure. I bought a copy of Whiz Comics #51 as an impulse buy one day. I opened it up and said, across the bottom on the first page, something like "Reserve your copy of Whiz Comics at your newsstand today. We'll be limiting our print run to divert the paper to the war effort so print runs will be limited." That's paraphrasing based on a 20 year old memory. That's the kind of snapshot of history you just don't see very often, so I had to jump on it.
@Caliban That Man-Thing cover is one of my all-time favorites! I'm really curious about that Infernal Man-Thing series coming up -- Gerber's "lost" script or somesuch. I was a huge Gerber fan in the 70's.
From 1973, the final issue of Red Wolf. ComicDB has no cover art credit, and Comics.org lists it as " John Romita?; Ron Wilson?" with inks by Mike Esposito. My guess with JR SR before I looked it up.
The Atlas cover really brings back memories. I was very young at that time and felt like I had that chance to jump on "then next Marvel". (ha)
And the Charles Burns cover freaks me out. Wow...
Charles Burns artwork has a very nightmarish quality to it.
I had never heard of Atlas/Seaboard. Then got some of their comics in one of those 100 random comics for 10 buck deals on Ebay. Ended up loving them and have managed to get an almost complete set. That issue of Fright I picked up at a con 2 years ago for 10 cents.

While bumping around the interwebs I found this. From what I've read it's the back cover to a Captain Britain Annual.
Today's 1973 cover is by Frank Brunner, over Marvel reprints stories...
Today's a Sub-Mariner cover by Rich Buckler & Joe Sinnott that I don't remember at all...
And the other two characters on that Amazing Heroes cover are D.R. & Quinch
Here's a William Stout cover from an anthology title called A1 which I rather like
May 1975
and A Book Burns in Citrusville
Another one-two punch by Klaus Janson and Gil Kane
Jim Aparo on the cover w/ a December 1982 cover date.
This is my first comic.

@mguy1977 You can never go wrong with Aparo!
From '73, a Kirby monster cover popped up. Grogg! And he's apparently back!
Cool! I've got that one
Apparently Grogg first appeared in Strange Tales #83 in April 1961
@WetRats LOL!
I just wonder what exactly ALF is doing to that seal.
Can't beat a cover by Bolland.
Charles Burn can do no wrong in my book.
Nice Eddie Campbell homage to a classic Kirby Thor cover.
There was some kinky-ass s@#& in those books!
Always thought Frank Thorne was very under rated.
Another great Brian Bolland cover. Plus this series is so good.

Cover by Jordi Penalva. I wish some company would bring back The Rook.
I wish Daniel Brereton did more comic work.
Wally Wood covers=AMAZING!
