Greatest GOLDEN AGE Covers Poll, Round One

[batman_fan]

Certainly there will be many more polls as a ton of classic covers were missing.

[IngelsFan]

That was fun, and some of the groups were hard to find 10 to pick, some it was hard to only pick ten.

 

On a personal note, I was mighty glad to see that I own some of these! I tried not to let that influence my voting.......

[sagii]

Done voting. Great selections.

 

But....I only own two of all the books posted .......

[Primetime]

We've fixed the poll. The Vision was trying to sort through a complex mathematical equation and got wrapped up in the minutiae. Catman America came to the rescue and with the Vision's assistance the polls should now be on track.

what about the rest of your team?

[Primetime]

No whiz 22. You all suck

you didn't vote in the prelims

What happened to that poll the boards did like in 2006.

[Inaflash]

Wow Comics 38 is one of the best. I voted, but just sayin'...

The initial 100 were determined as follows:

 

20 were defined by the organizers of the poll

80 were defined by reaching out to a number of collectors who could list any 20 books, with limits placed on the number by the same artist or in the genre (e.g. you couldn't list 20 Timely Schomburg Captain America covers)

 

I'm a little surprised at some of the books that made the list but I think that most of what the hobby has considered the "big guns" are there and that there will be quite a few usual suspects when the short list is produced.

The grading Hobbit is on a mission seeking out any powerful ring to eliminate it. The other fellow is our secret weapon in case this omnifiscent poll is hacked by the Red Skull.

I hope National 16 is one of the surprises. I think it's a true classic!

[miraclemet]

the survey taught me that I need to start collecting Lou Fine National covers...

Awesome stuff gang, thanks for putting it on, that was fun for SURE!!!

No Adventure #46...

 

 

have to agree there, 46 is arguably the best cover of the Adventure run

[BarristerBaker]

No Flash Comics 33?!? That's a shame.

I can't argue with that. One of my all-time favorites!

[gino2paulus2]

No Flash Comics 33?!? That's a shame.

 

I like the 7 more personally but then again I'm biased

[BarristerBaker]

7 is great! There are several other Maldoffs that are stellar. Flash 96 is a wicked tough book and a great cover too.

 

33 is still my favorite, though.

[Comicdey]

Ya'll know this is a crazy poll without Supersnipe v1#8

 

Other than that. I need to pick up a few more classic covers.

[thehumantorch]

Nice poll. A few of my favorite Raboy covers weren't in the mix but it's hard to please everyone.

[Robot Man]

Maybe a little too much "men in tights" for my liking. But, if it was opened up to all genres, it would have to start with 1,000. So many great covers, so little dough...
