What's your theme...?

[RockMyAmadeus]

Yes, this has done before.

 

No, I don't want to bump an old thread.

 

 

What, if any, is your theme? That is, what do you like to collect that is not related to anything but a specific cover theme, rather than a character.

 

For example...I have two:

 

Rain covers:

 

 

(in my opinion, one of the top 5 war covers of all times. Strip the cover blurbs and word balloons, and you have an achingly powerful image.)

 

And starry covers:

 

 

Don't know why, couldn't tell you in a million years, but I love them just the same. And yes, Van Gogh's Starry Night is among my favs.

 

'trooper's theme is paratrooper covers, and PokerKid's is playing card covers....I'm sure they'll be along to post, if they so desire.

 

So...what's yours...?

So you collect covers with crazy looking communist Asians on it? Suffering or inflicting fatal injuries a plus?

I was going to guess he collects Japanese guy with big knife covers.

One of us is right.

The proper Golden Age term is "Yellow Devils".

Seriously?

Yes, or "Yellow Peril". Also, please note, they weren't communists, they were fascists. The terms are mutually exclusive. (thumbs u

[joe_collector]

The Germans and Japanese used to call us Canucks, "Red Devils" so it's hardly a new term in times of war.

[Boboset]

"Yellow Devils" I'm loving that. That doesn't make CGC labels does it? I bet it probably doesn't, but I'm always surprised to see the "Bondage cover" mention on every Captain America cover that has Bucky tightly tied to a chair ready to get worked over by a 'yellow devil'.

[JasonNewcomb]

You like the bondage covers do you? I like Canadian print run covers. Does that count?

 

So here's a two for one.

Surprise covers?

I collect head/neck trauma covers. It's a fairly broad category and covers all the high points of golden/atomic age comics...exploding faces, melting faces, decapitation, ocular intimidation, psychedelic experiences, hangings, etc.
