Classic Cover designation

[HRCostigan]

Hi all -- just wondering if there is a list somewhere of the GA books that CGC labels "classic cover". Seems like it could make a neat collecting focus for someone. Thanks!

[Timely]

While at CGC I was the one that added "Classic cover" to the CGC label of many of them.

Just what I was looking for -- thank you!

No Crime SuspenStories 22?

[RedFury]

No HELLO PAL

[The_Captain]

Why not Action #1? Is there a more classic comic and cover than this one

[Timely]

I put Classic cover on Action Comics #1

You're saying this:

 

 

is more recognizable than this???

 

 

[comicjack]

Nearmint's list is sweet in the classic cover department,but I would add Cap Aero 26 and Wonderworld 7 to that list.Thanks!

I'm not intimidated by a monkey with a huge yellow cap I stand by my statement! (thumbs u

 

The polka-dott pants are scary though

[nearmint]

It's a 5-year-old list that probably needs a lot of updating.

[sacentaur]

It's a 5-year-old list that probably needs a lot of updating.

 

Agreed - a lot of updating is really needed. For example, while Catman 19 is certainly a great cover, the Catman 20 is the true "classic", IMHO.

 

 

And what classic cover list is complete without Western Picture Stories #4?!? I mean, c'mon!!

 

[kelholt]

It's a 5-year-old list that probably needs a lot of updating.

 

Although the list is a great start, I think there are many more that are not on the list.

One is Black Terror 20...classic cover on label.

 

[nearmint]

I love her.

[The_Captain]

Don't most of the blonde 40's beauties look like Veronica Lake

[Doohickamabob]
