-Silver Age DC Superhero-SURVIVOR SERIES-Round 6

[selegue]

Come on folks, let's finally get rid of the Sea Devils. Who is willing to admit that they are fans today?

 

Absolutely a fan of Russ Heath's artwork!

 

It doesn't have to be about the current character popularity

 

Exactly! It's a "greatest Silver Age DC Superhero cover of all time" (aka, "favorite") contest, not a favorite character or most valuable collectible contest.

 

Which doesn't explain why Showcase 4 is still in the running. Yeesh. To me, it's the obvious "one of these things is not like the others" winner. The Flash figure is clumsy at best, and the layout is zzzzzz.

 

Chacun à son goût.

Most of the Showcase covers really blow. I like the Sea Devils books, the Adam Strange books, the #4 is okay, #23 is okay, #55 is pretty cool. #60? A ghost wearing underwear and a cape?

I agree with you completely.

 

But in all fairness, the title of the thread says nothing to reference best art or anything like that. It says SA DC Superhero survivor series. Maybe it has caused some confusion.

Showcase 13??? really? The Flash is being chased from behind by a giant phallic symbol?

 

What, that doesn't do anything for ya...?

It's there because it's a mega key (which really has zero to do with the asthetics of the cover itself) and some just can't vote off a mega key.

Each round opening states: The goal is to determine the greatest Silver Age DC Superhero cover of all time.

 

I translated that to the mean "greatest" expression of silver age superhero comic book cover arts, as published by DC Comics.

All about the art, design, and execution, nothing about $ value or historical key status. Or even fan-favorites. I've toasted a lot of my personal favorites in various rounds, they simply couldn't compete.

And what's so bloody wonderful about that hideous Wonder Woman cover?

 

I like it. Something about it creeps me out. But it's not even close to a favorite cover of mine.

Showcase 4 is set to leave us....finally.
