Favorite Golden Age Comic Cover

[MonumentalCo]

Well, since I have not seen much new in this section for a while I thought I starting a new post! What is your favorite Golden Age Comic Cover?

[Darthdiesel]

Any "bondage" cover with wonder woman or Lois lane!!!

[murph0]

Those Cap, and USA books with the anti-nazi stuff on it..those are great.

So many to choose from...for today only though, I'll Select All Select #1. Schomburg, Cap, Subby, Torch, the whole gang knocking on the door of the impenetrable (or is it?) Eagles Nest - cool!

 

 

[NativeNewYorker]

Reform School Girl! with the photo cover of Marty Collins is still one of my favorites. Too bad it was sold 15 years ago.

What's the deal with Subby's head? Did he get it caught in some traingular gear machine or something?

I can't choose. Too, too many. But four come to mind anyway: Detective #29 (mad scientist foiled by BM), Detective #31, Superman #14 (classic patriotic cover) and All-Select #1, one of the greatest orchestrations of action-packedness I can imagine possible.

 

Natcherly, I don't own a one of these, but it doesn't mean I can't appreciate them!

I just snagged MARVEL MYSTERY #51 off of eBay, and there's no doubt that this is among my favorite covers. Schomburg had a penchant for outrageous covers, but this one is totally bizarre! The Hooded Nazis reminded me of the KKK style killers on the cover of SUSPENSE#3 and that's what sealed the deal when I saw this book. Between this and the other stuff I've been bidding on lately, I'm gonna have to pack a lot of peanut butter sandwiches to take to work for lunch. But it's worth it for these great books. Here's a link to the MM 51 auction with the cover:
