I've seen a bunch of "best cover ever" threads, but what about a worst covers ever thread. Here's my donation:

I posted this in another thread recently. I hate this cover. It gives me the heebie jeebies.

Then STOP posting it. That cover freaked me out good as a young child.

It is indeed horrible, disturbing, and kitsch, all at once. Excellent.

 

More horrible covers, if you please.

I don't care what anyone says, NOTHING compares with this one for pure putridity:

dmgcsr: What does that blurb of copy in the center say? (Place artwork here?)

Very bizzare cover

It's some contest asking you to turn to page 11 in order to win $100...

 

At least that's what I think it says.

Never had the pleasure of seeing that cover before. It knocks spots off the ASM 138 in terms of kitschness. Manages to be nebulous (you can't figure out what the hell is supposed to be going on) and hideous at the same time.

Pick your poison, but be warned, the purtidity factor on these covers is off the charts:

Thank god the second one is a CGC 9.8. Can you imagine how horrible it would be to have to grade that one if it had "moisture" damage?

$300-$500 for those pieces of sick !?

We have a winner. Nothing'll top those. Makes it difficult to admit to being a Crumb fan - and as for Link 1, eeeurgh.

We're talking about Heritage Aces; on eBay you could practically drop a zero from the prices... ok maybe not that bad, but close enough

Let's get this thread back on track. Here's another one of the lamest ASM covers ever:

Those COULD NOT have been Newstand copies!! Were they!!?? (although I suppose if you put 'em next to Hussler, then they dont look so bad... )
