8.  Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes #23

9.  Lady Rawhide #3

10.  Power Girl #2

11.  Catwoman #74

12.  Wonder Woman #150

The Sally Forth cover should probably be on there. 

[Brock]

If it was my top 20 list, it would definitely have Sally Forth 8 and Catwoman 70 on it. It wouldn’t have Wonder Woman 150.

[MadGenius]

Let's debate Sally Forth #8.

Nice cover. My argument against it is that it doesn't scream "Adam Hughes!" like some of his other covers do. If I had never seen this cover before, and you took away the artist signature, Frank Cho would my first guess as to who did the art. I might land on Hughes eventually, but I'm not sure it captures his signature style.

Here's a few I think qualify as all-time classics after a quick look at the GCD.  A couple of which I also just ordered after realizing I didn't have them yet.  Can try and get bigger scans for the ones I do already have if people want.

He's deliberately channeling some Wally Wood look as well, for obvious reasons.

A couple of recent Hughes covers that I think are too new to make the top 20 all time list (we need to see how well they age after a year or three) but that I think may be candidates in the long run:

Not a lot to choose from unfortunately. A lot of people like Zatanna #15 but that doesn't really do it for me. Open to suggestions though.

I always enjoyed 13.  Love how the card and issue # jive.  But I see why it's not a Top 20. 

The cover of Catwoman 50, with solely Zatanna, was made a poster.  I need to find that.

A couple of other, more obscure possibilities...

Sorry, should have posted the 2nd one with trade dress:

Great thread! Here are a few of my AH! books.

And, putting action to my words above, here's one of the covers I didn't have but ordered.  Quick delivery!

I would be interested to know if anyone can spot any of his models.. Katie Perry as Selina Kyle is an obvious one... but what about Rosie Marcel as Zantana

This is his best Ghost cover. Might be top 20 worthy.

Doesn't he use Audrey Hepburn as Selina?
