Top five favorite covers of all time.

338 posts in this topic

I have a couple loaded up. I'll try to give the rationale for their inclusion:

Classic Barks that seduced any kid.

 

Who wouldn't want to see what this is all about?

A real "steampunk" feel and definitely a heroine rather than a "damsel in distress".

 

More later.

I agree with Silver Streak 6. This needs to be in the top five as well(not my copy, unfortunately!).
