Covered 365: Day 344
Four Color #344, Dell Comics, August 1951, Artist: Morris Gollub. Day #344 gave us two quality covers and this far in I’ll take that as a good day. Morris Gollub’s intense cover to Four Color #344 wins hands down! The…

Covered 365: Day 318
House of Mystery #318, DC Comics, July 1973. Artist: Mike Kaluta. It was tough to pick a winner for Day 318, there were some good covers but not one was great. I went with Mike Kaluta’s cover to House of…
Covered 365: Day 303
Avengers #303, Marvel Comics, May 1989. Artist: John Buscema. I’m such a John Buscema fanboy, I saw his cover to Avengers #303 and it sent me back to that late 60s style of his that produced so many classic covers.…

Covered 365: Day 250
Incredible Hulk #250, Marvel Comics, August 1980, Artist: Al Milgrom. I mentioned this in the comments of Day 248 but I thought I’d put it in the body of the post for the big Day 250. With the cover selections…
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 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…
Undervalued Spotlight #456
Avengers: The Initiative Annual #1, Marvel Comics, 2007. Vacation week for me so I thought I’d throw in a nice light bite-sized pick to help keep the holiday pounds off me. We were talking about Marvel’s Secret Invasion mini-series at…
Covered 365: Day 204
Four Color #204, Eastern Color, December 1948. Artist: Paul Norris. Blame that gorgeous blue fade. Before anyone gives me any flack have a look at the covers below and tell me you wouldn’t want the Four Color #204 at the…

Covered 365: Day 187
Avengers #187, Marvel Comics, September 1979. Artist: John Byrne. I lined up a bunch of great covers including House of Mystery #186 and Amazing Spider-Man #186 but none were as visually impactful as John Byrne’s great cover to Avengers #187. Superman…
Covered 365: Day 185
Avengers #185, Marvel Comics, July 1979. Artist: George Perez. There was a lot to like on Day #185, tops on my list is Perez’s powerful rendering on Avengers #185. I can’t seem to get enough Gil Kane lately, have a…
Undervalued Spotlight #450
X-Men #9, Marvel Comics, January 1965. This is a Spotlight I’ve had lined up for well over a year and yet for some reason I’ve been slow to post it. Now I actually may be a couple of months late…
Covered 365: Day 87
Avengers #87 – Marvel Comics, August 1959 – Artist: John Buscema. Another striking cover from the mighty, mighty John Buscema. A few days ago I was lamenting how hard it was finding a cover, today I’m lamenting how hard it…
Covered 365: Day 78
Avengers #78 – Marvel Comics, July 1970 – Artist: John Buscema. The mighty mighty John Buscema at it again, I love this cover. A great comic book cover matching each day of the year, 1 through 365. Please chime in…
