covers that form a larger picture

[whaplodedave-migration]

Hi

I am fairly new to collecting us comics although i have a beano collection of 2000+ and i have bought a few bits to see which i like reading most.

I bought the Gotham underground collection from ebay and found that the covers of all 9 issues fitted together to create a larger picture. I was wondering if this is a fairly common thing that happens with different stories etc.

 

Sorry if this is a daft question but I am currently reading through the noobs guide etc and learning lots

No, I totally get what you are asking. It's actually a fairly common thing. The one that immediately comes to mind is the Whilce Portacio variants back in the 90s that all fit together to make a large picture. It ran across several titles - Union, Team 7, Gen 13, Wildcats, Deathblow, Stormwatch, Kindred, and Wetworks. (Can't believe I actually remembered all of them!)

The Jim Lee Xmen #1 covers all created a larger picture.

What about the Adlard covers, 3rd prints?? of Walking Dead 98-100.

I think they are now called "Connecting Covers." Midtown has done a bunch of ASM JSC connecting covers the last few months. I really liked the Amazing 700 connecting to Superior 1. The newer one was sort of a let down.

Different Adventure Time comics, 1-6 and 7-11, I think?

The covers to the original Official Handbook of Marvel Universe (second edition in comic book form) were wonderful, as they provided a horizontal connection through fifteen issues (not including the last ones "Books of the Dead" and the Addenda, which also connected)…

 

Someone has taken the effort to put them together… Click on the miniature below!

The covers of Fantastic Four volume 3, issues 51-54 interlock vertically.

Please note that Richard Rider is listed as himself, and not Nova, as he had lost his powers… and the examples could be many from the best late period at Marvel.

That's the one I'm talking about! I have all these except one in the slabs already. Just upgrading as I can to all 9.8.

Earth X and I'm pretty sure Universe X and Paradise X all have connecting covers.

The Walking Dead TPBs also do that.
