Crazy Comic Covers: Lois Lane #44 “Superman’s Surprise Choice”

The Cover: Looks like we have Superman strapped to some kind of crazy love meter that will determine who he loves more; Lois Lane or Lana Lang. Of course, Superman doesn’t know that it’s a love meter and has been told that it’s a “heart-meter”. Totally crude joke, but how much you wanna bet that [...]

Crazy Comic Cover: Flash #319 “A slight touch of death!”

The Cover: Well, The Flash simply seems to be killing someone with his super-speed. How? I got no clue how the Flash is killing this guy, all I can see is that his clothes seem to be flying off. So maybe the Flash is killing him with friction and the heat is going to incinerate [...]

Crazy Comic Cover: Incredible Hulk #378 “Rhino Plastered”

The Cover: I can’t get enough of covers of superheroes fighting Santa Claus. There’s such a timeless feeling to seeing the gray Hulk engage in a fistfight with jolly old Saint Nick. What’s fantastic is that the tagline of this issue is “the most requested villain of all!” But what really makes this cover is [...]

Crazy Comic Covers: Jimmy Olsen #44 “The Wolf-Man of Metropolis”

The Cover: Jimmy Olsen has all the luck, not only is he a snazzy dresser, but he can also transform into a werewolf! Jimmy seems to have drank a magic potion that turns him into a werewolf and the effects of the potion can only be broken through the kiss of a pretty girl. Really, [...]

Crazy Comic Cover: Superman #318

The Cover: AHAHHAAHA that’s all I got to describe what we have on this cover. Superman is being assaulted by a bunch of dogs shooting orange skittles out of their mouths at the command of a pirate lady. I think they were running out of things for Superman to fight and punch so they just [...]

Crazy Comic Covers: Brave and the Bold #184 “The Batman’s Last Christmas!”

 
The Cover: Look! For once it’s not a Superman cover! It’s a Christmas themed issue with Batman tearing off his cowl in anger and declaring that his parents deserved to die. Man, this guy has got all kinds of childhood issues. First he decides to become Batman to avenge his parents, and now he’s decided [...]

Crazy Comic Covers: Action Comics #319 “The Condemned Superman!”

The Cover: Finally! Justice is being done to Superman for all the terrible things he’s done. Our cover features a kryptonite chained Superman being led to a mysterious room where they will use a “weird other-world method of execution” on him. Probably to punish him for all the terrible things he’s done on the cover [...]

Crazy Comic Covers: Action Comics #329 “The Ultimate Enemy”

The Cover: Superman’s about to get medieval on your ass! Well, according to this cover anyways. He’s about to walk into certain doom against some unknown foe wielding a sword and…a rainbow colored shield? Check out the onlookers too, it’s almost like they’re living in Rome where everyday they get to watch some weird gladiator [...]

Crazy Comic Covers: Superman #270 “The Viking from Valhalla”

The Cover: Surprise, surprise, Superman is letting innocent people walk to their doom? That’s nothing new for Superman followers, but actively preventing some weird Viking dude from saving them? Well, that’s another plateau of dickery reached by Superman. Maybe Superman is trying to keep him from saving them so he can save them himself and [...]

Crazy Comic Covers: World’s Finest #165 “The Crown of Crime”

The Cover: This is just a fantastic cover. Apparently Superman and Batman have become the rulers of the world and Batman is some sort of greedy globe mongering Bat-jerk who is wearing a crown on top of his cowl. Isn’t a cowl a form of hat already? So he’s wearing a hat on top of [...]

Cracy Comic Covers: Lois Lane #71 “Hush Money, Sweet Lois–or else!”

The Cover: Has Superman sunk to a new low? He’s found out that someone has been blackmailing Lois Lane and instead of trying to help her out, he pretends to be the blackmailer himself and figure out the secret himself. Now that’s a class act. But…if he is pretending to be the blackmailer, is he [...]

Crazy Comics Cover: Action Comics #461 “Kill me or leave”

The cover: Looks like everyone has finally looked at all the covers of the previous Action Comics and released that Superman really is a dick! They’re throwing tomatoes at posters of Superman while they’re parading Clark Kent around town on their shoulders. My question is: why are there large 1:1 scale posters of Superman plastered [...]

Crazy Comic Covers: Action Comics #434 “The Krypton Connection”

The Cover: What do we know about Superman? Well, according to this cover, he’s a total wuss when it comes to a visit to the dentist. Look at the dentist put his back into it as he’s trying to pull that tooth out! Superman is gripping that chair for dear life while the assistant looks [...]

Crazy Comic Cover: Jimmy Olsen #113 “The wrongo Superman!”

 

The Cover: I could make a comment on how Superman needs to be more careful when choosing his friends, but then again he’s best friends with Jimmy Olsen; the walking disaster zone. So let’s just take this cover for what it’s worth. Superman has decided to become friends with a pair of escaped convicts who [...]

Crazy Comic Covers: Action Comics #593 “The Suicide Snare”

This week’s Crazy Comic Cover is a continuation of last week’s Action Comics where we left off with Superman and Big Barda falling down a pit dug by an alien in a sewer. Yeah, aliens spend their time digging death traps in sewers.

The Cover: Ok, we’ve seen Superman type up confessions about being a criminal, [...]
