I love threads like this. :)

 

I bumped the Top 5 Favorite Covers Thread several times. :cloud9:

 

I can't narrow it down to one. It's a toss up between two or three. These covers have always just wowed me since I was a kid/teen with the dramatic scenes and bright colors. Nothing really "key" - just covers I always loved.

 

Here is my Top 10:

Infinity Gauntlet #1 came out the summer after 6th grade for me. I remember how excited I was to read and reread that book so many times and waiting for #2, #3, etc. to come out anxiously every month.

 

Unity #0 came out the following summer when I (like most at the time) were really getting into Valiant. I thought it was so great seeing all of the main characters on the cover facing something powerful together.

 

Ghost Rider #15 with it's glow-in-the-dark cover was so cool to me when it came out and I used to have it hanging on my wall.

 

I remember always marveling at Daredevil #184 because Daredevil was always the "good guy" superhero and now he had a big gun and it reminded me of Dirty Harry which was :cool: when I was a kid.

 

I remember seeing ASM #252 for the first time at a toy store and thought - :o what happened to Spider-Man!?

 

The others I just always really liked looking at.

 

If I had to narrow it down, these are probably my two favorites:

There's a lot more I could also pick from, but I'm going to go with this one for now.

I hope some of my covers will inspire people to read some of the Swan DC SA books-Marvel seems to overwhelm collectors and some amazing DC stuff gets ignored! His run on world's finest #141-172 and his Adventure as well as Jimmy Olsen Superman and Action were stupendous. I have a collection of most of his stuff - comic vine and other sites are not always accurate about which books he drew so I'm the Curt Swan expert if anyone has any questions about a particular book!
