Hands down HOS 92. Seeing it in person made it even more amazing. It resides in Metropolis collection.  Modern day Mona Lisa of comic art.

It truly is an otherworldly piece! I'm not a Wrightson or Swamp Thing buff, but couldn't stop admiring the delicacy of both Bernie's lines/inks and the girl's features, when I saw the cover in person:x

If the rule is I have to keep whichever one I'd get, I'd probably take the HOS 92 over the Mona Lisa. If nothing else, I think the HOS is larger hm

I got my grail from you a while back.  Not my 1st comic but early purchase off the newsstand in Osgood, IN back in 1976.  Daredevil 33 came from my brothers friend Terry Disbro.

Holy ! Jungle Action #23 may be the 1st Comic I ever bought off of a newsstand. Loved Black Panther, and that cover is fantastic.

its pretty awesome to know who owns it. Congrats.

I am lucky to own a page from this book. I think it has the best illustration of Linda from the story. You can see it in my CAF.

Phantom Lady 17? You mean the comic, not the OA, right????

Might be the best Dredd piece ever made. 

Yes. Ezquerra Dredd pages in general are criminally undervalued, IMHO. He was the co-creator of the character, after all. And his costume design for the character was one of the greatest in comics history.

I mean the OA .. got the comic already 

I have to wonder if it exists. If my memory recalls correctly, there was some debate as to whether it was actually Baker. An unbelievable iconic cover nonetheless.
