Thread for key issues, that we would all love to own, but think the cover is awful. Post the picture if you got them.

 

I don't have the book but this has always impressed me as the ugliest key cover of them all.

Always looked like more of a pulp magazine cover to me. That's all.

 

The blue in the cover is actually quite striking when you see a copy in hand.

ST #110 - don't know if it qualifies as ugly but it's lacking a key ingredient

 

I know this is sacrilegious but I've always been underwhelmed by Ditko covers. They always lacked an 'oomph' of some sort.

 

He was a great storyteller though.

I have a love/hate with X-Men #1

 

I love X-Men and it is an iconic cover…it's just a stupid one…why does Angel have a bazooka? What is Beast swinging off of? How is Magneto's powers blocking Cyclops' laser vision? And WTF is Jean doing in the background?
