I think that's one of the most desirable Texan issues. I'd put 5 there too, but beyond those 2 there is a dropoff. 8 9 and 11 aren't bad and 6 has the first appearance of Wakanda (?) but the issues without prominent women don't compare to almost any issue of the Hawk (by Baker).
There's cover to 8 and then... well... did I mention the cover to 8?
Agree to disagree; art is subjective, after all.
Regarding #4...
If you *need* a woman on a Baker cover, I like #4 more; probably #8 as well (she's not front-and-center, but she has a red dress!)
Overall, I like the different compositions used on #s 11 and 12.
