Covered 365: Day 231
Four Color #231, Eastern Color, June 1949. Artist: Bill Wright. Four Color #231 is the #231 to own for its cover, high-quality work from Bill Wright. Hey, is this the Bill Wright of the Billy Wright Golden Age collection fame?…
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 229
Kid Colt Outlaw #229, Marvel Comics, April 1979. Artist: Gene Colan. Now that’s more like it, two rough and tumble cowboys smashing through the window of some two-bit saloon that sells watered-down whiskey. Gene Colan gives us one of the…
Covered 365: Day 228
Four Color #228, Eastern Color, May 1949. Artist: Bill Ely. Bill Ely gives us some fine grace and elegance on the cover of Four Color #228, great perspective too. David Mazzucchelli nails the mood of Purgatory, a great issue from…
Covered 365: Day 227
Batman #227, DC Comics, December 1970. Artist: Neal Adams. Call it a safe pick if you will but Neal Adams gave us a great cover on Batman #227, of course, it’s an homage but I’ve featured those before. Batman #227…
Covered 365: Day 226
Marvel Tales #226, Marvel Comics, August 1989. Artist: Todd McFarlane. It came down to Batman #226 and Marvel Tales #226, Neal Adams versus Todd McFarlane. The beef I have with both covers is that the secondary characters suck but Spidey…
Covered 365: Day 225
Amazing Spider-Man #225, Marvel Comics, February 1982. Artist: John Romita Jr. What better way to follow up a John Romita cover than to put up a John Romita Jr. Cover. Amazing Spider-Man #225 is one of those covers that always…
Undervalued Spotlight #458
Action Comics #19, DC Comics, December 1939. This week’s Undervalued Spotlight came about because of an argument over Superman #2. A friend of mine, and a comic book nut, was arguing that Superman #2 should be featured on the Spotlight…
Covered 365: Day 224
Thor #224, Marvel Comics, June 1974. Artist: John Romita. I’m gonna officially come out and say it, Day 224 was the worst day of the year so far for covers. Being the eternal optimist I’ll also add that it will…
Covers 365: Day 223
Avengers #223, Marvel Comics, September 1982. Artist: Ed Hannigan. For you guys that follow the Undervalued Spotlight you might have suspected I would pick this. Ed Hannigan’s cover is awesome, Nuff said. Nice to see Andy Warhol do a cover…
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 221
Batman #221, DC Comics, May 1970. Artist: Neal Adams. I thought Batman #221 was the runaway winner today (I should have used that line on a Flash win). This is quality stuff from old Neal. I have a feeling we’ll…
Covered 365: Day 220
Daredevil #220, Marvel Comics, July 1985. Artist: David Mazzucchelli. I really like David Mazzucchelli’s cover to Daredevil #220. There are two effects he’s going for here with the haziness of the light in the fog and then the fog itself.…
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 218
Strange Adventures #218, DC Comics, June 1969. Artist: Neal Adams. I love the Neal Adams cover to Strange Adventures #218, Adams’ take on 217 fell short with too much shading but the almost psychedelic #218 looks great. Ernie Chan does…
Undervalued Spotlight #457
Amazing Spider-Man #129, Marvel Comics, February 1974. I’d like to come right out and introduce Amazing Spider-Man #129 as this week’s Undervalued Spotlight. Amazing Spider-Man #129 famously features the first appearance of the Punisher, the book also features the first…
Covered 365: Day 217
House of Mystery #217, DC Comics, September 1973. Artist: Bernie Wrightson. Man the cover to House of Mystery #217 is so Wrightson and for me, that’s a good thing. What strikes me about Barry Windsor Smith’s Daredevil #217 cover is…
Covered 365: Day 216
Famous Funnies #216, Eastern Color, March 1955. Artist: Frank Frazetta. So I did the old “I’ll tell them I’ll only use 4 but slide in the 5th at the last opportunity”. Apologies but there was no real other option today.…
Covered 365: Day 215
Superman #215, DC Comics, April 1969. Artist: Neal Adams. There is definitely a pattern of usual suspects developing on these posts, Adams, Kane, Frazetta, Wrightson have dominated the past 20 posts at least. I have to try to dig out…
