Comic Covers Only You Love

[Count]

Bring on some GA goodness

[Davenport]

House of Secrets #14. Grabbed my imagination as a tiny kid, and a treasure-find back issue buy during my 1st trip to the San Diego Comic Con.

 

Just checked...still the highest graded copy on the census ... for years the only one...but now there's a whopping two on the census (a 5.0). How's that for "no love"?

 

Desk-top flying saucers and a man "who stole air"?? Irresistible.

Cool book. Reminds me of the "Invaders" Twilight Zone episode.

I love this terrible cover

 

Fantastically bad cover. Should be made into a T shirt...

 

Always had a soft spot for this cover - it gets more absurd the more you think about it. DC loved their gorillas....

Oh yeah! One of the better episodes. (thumbs u I still remember what a shock the ending was the 1st time I saw it.

The Count wanted some Golden Age, so here you go.

I don't necessarily "love" this cover but it always makes me chuckle.

 

 

I like the expression on the boy and woman's faces. Are they surrounded by the yeast or is there something even more alarming off-cover?

Love this gorilla cover! Half Super-simian half solomon grundy

[bronzilla]

I cant think of too many things more alarming than Yeast!!!!

[CDaBruce]

And another gorilla-themed cover. Also rather ridiculous when you stop to think about it... But it is one of my faves!

Action 434 - Big time memories of buying this at a 7-Eleven along with Batman and Flash comics, which don't stand out as well as this one. This was my first purchase when I got back into collecting last year....had to have it!

Exactly! Therein lies the mystery...

I have always loved this cover of FF #37

[bronzilla]

I havent seen that ish in years!!!! Thanks!

[bronzilla]

OMG THATS HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!

Howie Chaykin's American Flagg! volume 2, issue 1. The best tagline ever put onto a comic book cover.

 

 

[selegue]

Totally goooofy!

Was this released the same year as the movie, Marathon Man?

 

(Reminds me more of Little Shop of Horrors though)

No way that's a cover no one loves. It's great!

HHAAWW!!

The funniest part of that cover is the yeast "appendage" sticking right in the Big Red Cheese's face. The editor must have had a sense of humor to let that one by.

 

All my favorite Comic Covers Only I Love are on the Golden Age "Short Bus" thread.

 

Here's a mere sample.

How is the story?

 

It wasn't Golden's year last year but all that "Virue" biz aside, his Micronauts run was outstanding, excellent, top-noptch stuff in both art & tale. Read 'em!
