[RickHigh]

JUSTICE LEAGUE #31

 

 

[RickHigh]

SHIELD #3 (incredible Steranko art — inside and out!!)

 

 

[RickHigh]

Last (for now), but not least, SUPERMAN #199

 

 

[burntboy]

an excellent list, to be sure...........

 

hard to argue with these - i think i have 90+% of these books - just wish they were all in great shape.

 

i haven't thought about this for long but would definitely add Flash #123 (it won the Alley Award from Alter Ego for the best cover of 1961). it was the book that introduced Earth 2 where all of the JSA lived..............

[burntboy]

I'd especially like to see more of your awesome DC books!!!

Along with #39 and #50, I'd add these to the list of best Spidey covers. #69 may even be my all-time favorite SA cover.

Yea, That Spidey #69 is one of my favorites too. Here's a few more...

 

THOR #158

What a cool cover! Not only bringing comic books into the story but plugging the other DC titles as well!

[Zonker]

Here are a couple I had scanned and saved on my C: drive for some reason. Maybe next week while I'm off work I'll get my scanner software reinstalled and contribute some more to this thread.

 

In the meantime...

 

 

 

Merry Christmas to all!

I am really enjoying all of the great Silver Age covers being posted here. A couple of my favorite Marvel covers from that era are:

 

A recognized Steranko classic:

 

And one of my favorite Kirby Thors:

[namisgr]

Two more favorite Marvels. First, a terrific regal rendering of the Prince Namor:

 

And finally, a cover and story that shocked young, impressionable readers beyond belief, and a great example of how Marvel "broke the rules" of the Super-Hero (P.S.: I'm looking to upgrade this book, should anyone out there be selling...):
