Amazing Fantasy 15 or Fantastic Four 3

No brainer for AF15! Although I'm left handed, having two of them looks stupid!

Ask someone who knows comic books and ask them to name the most iconic covers that come to mind, I could not fathom FF#3, nice book, but the first appearance of Spider-Man merits a more worthy opponent, like Action #1 Tec 27 Etc

AF #15. Most of the early FF covers are weak while the Spideys hold up okay today.

Picked the FF 3, especially since it's the book I'm after by years end. Can't afford an AF 15 anyway.

I picked AF 15 without looking knowing what FF #3 cover looked like. Then again, I'm a Spidey fan

 

Why the random question Hibou?

AF15, no contest imo. You should expand the thread a bit. Maybe grab 19 other iconic covers and have us vote?

And in the end Silver Surfer #4 will win.

This thread sort of started in another where I asked what Silver Age book is above all others... I was informed that a poll had been done just a short time earlier and AF15 was selected by a wide margin.

 

So with that I started wondering if AF15 was Marvels first cover-featured costumed hero of the Silver Age. (1962)

 

As it turns out FF3, where they get their familiar costumes, came out a few months before AF15.

 

And that's my long winded answer as to why the poll.

 

And then there's TTA35... which came out just a few months after AF15.

The AF15 isn't my favorite cover, and the FF3 isn't bad either. You asked which we liked better, I still would say AF15 because it represents Spider-Man, so that pushes it up more.

 

Lots of books and landmarks came before AF15 and the SA beginning etc. As for costumed SA Marvel characters, Fantastic Four was the one of the first, and Spider-Man is the best. Regards,

AF 15 easy. To me it is a classic pure cover. Simple and to the point, It just doesn't get better the that cover IMO at least in the silver age of comics.
