TOP 10 DC COVERS.....Nominations for a poll

204 posts in this topic

Might as well throw this one in the mix. I know everyone loves MIS 56, but this is actually my favorite Adam Strange cover. I like the simplicity, the alien world background, the lack of words, and of course the colors.

If anyone is partial to those pre-hero BRAVE and the BOLD, then you might also want to consider ROBIN HOOD TALES..a very underappreciated late-50s title with some really nice Andru & Esposito covers.

Is the purpose of this thread for people to nominate their Top 10 DC covers or to post a scan of every single freaking DC that they own? rantrant

 

I would agree some of these don't look like "best SA covers", but I think if someone has a book to nominate then a scan is nice.

 

Oh, and Tim...

 

I wouldn't mind seeing "a scan of every single freaking DC that YOU own" :foryou:

Well, its nice to have a sampling of nice, yet little known, covers from which to make an informed decision, no?

 

But, if you want me to post every DC I own, stand back...let me fire up my scanner! ;)

 

Meanwhile, here are few more cool DC Sci-Fi covers to choose from...

Hey, we're drifting here. There's no sign that an actual poll is forthcoming, so we're just posting away.

 

Plus there's so many great DCs to choose from...

It's nominations for a poll. Simple. You like a cover, you can nominate it.

The cover deserves a post of its own...IMHO, the greatest underwater/washtone cover of all time by the master Russ Heath...

Sea Devils actually has several covers worth mentioning...

 

including....#5, 9, 15, & 22...one of the better titles for outstanding covers from DC... (thumbs u
