The holy grail of OA poll

[Bronty]

OK so this is real pie in the sky. If every comic cover existed, what would your holy grail(s) be? Pick 5 from the 100 choices. Money aside. I.e. try to pick your favorites not necessarily the most valuable. They are free but you can't trade or resell, etc.

 

Obviously with only 100 choices I am going to be missing dozens if not hundreds of deserving candidates so bear with me. The list of choices will be imperfect. Have fun and let's see who top dog is.

 

 

[Mephisto]

Where are the paintings?

 

[Bronty]

I went...

 

Superman 1

Hit 5 (but I find myself waffling.. AF15 looks good on the sidelines)

FF 1

Scrooge 1

Spidey 3

[Bronty]

Where are the paintings?

 

I left magazines out of it, if you are referring to frazetta paintings

[Bronty]

all my choices seem popular

 

wait I'm the only one that's voted

[Wonderworldcomic]

A few of these did survive, GS Xmen #1, Planet #1 ...

so I did not pick them.

this poll is just too hard. Way too many items to make up my mind!

[NightGallery1]

A write-in for Weird Science-Fantasy 29.

 

It's tougher than I thought to pick just 5!

[blowout]

 

Spidey 3

 

 

You'd pick this over AF 15???

[groovyedwin]

If we are talking American covers, my votes are for the 4 Blazing Combat covers, Zap 4 cover and then WSF29 cover.

 

If we including American non-covers, then I would have to include in the listing several of the Zap Jams, Krazy Kat page, Little Nemo page, etc..

 

Whole different ballgame if European or Asian books are included in the poll.

Its on the list! (as "WSF 29")

[Bronty]

 

Spidey 3

 

 

You'd pick this over AF 15???

 

I know the AF15 would be way more valuable. In a pure valuation contest I'd pick that all day long. But I'd get more fun out of having spidey 3 on my wall

One of the first things to go are the eyes.

Only one Steranko cover on this list!

[Bronty]

OK OK that was one too many

[comicartcom]

it's funny Bronty, I used to own the Hit #5 cover as well as 2 other Hit covers

one of my very best buddies used to own the Science Comics #1 and I would have owned that too except I stopped collecting art when he was ready to sell it

 

there may have 1 or 2 other items I had at some point, but I actually have to reference old lists to be sure

[Flash105]

I voted:

Action 1

Det. 27

Det 31

Flash 105

Showcase 22

 

If I had a few moderns in the mix:

Walking Dead #1

All Star Superman #1

Dark Knight Returns #4

Daredevil 158

Crisis on Infinite Earth's 8
