Worst Comic Covers Ever - Let's See 'Em!

Looks like drawn on Charlie Brown hair .

Seeing this, I think I understand the need for authentication. There's no way I would know which creator that is without the explanation on the label.

[DrWatson]

Always hated this cover as well. The second worst cover of the run.

I cut this cover out of Previews and hung it on the wall above my computer

Looks weak,cheap and phony!

Welcome to the Kevlar Age.

 

Actually, I think the progression should be the Zinc Age. Zinc is cheaper than copper. And we won't have another "age" after the Zinc one expires in ten years - all comics will be digital by then.

 

And yes, that comic looks cheap and cheesy. Like someone looked at an Image title 15 years ago and wanted to emulate it.

 

You mean Jim Lee doing Wildcats?

[DiceX]

I vote this as one of the worst. I've always looked at this and thought WTF?

Possibly the weakest cover of any key book ever.

 

Couldn't they come up with something better than this POS for the first issue of Spider-Man?

Thing looks like someone took a life sized dump and put a pair of underwear on it.

I loathe and despise this cover because of the concept:

 

 

 

The only reason it's in my collection is because I'm a completist.

anything by DC with a word balloon on it from, oh, 1950 until 1966 or so, as long as Murphy Anderson, Gil Kane, Nick Cardy or Joe Kubert weren't involved. i might have left off an artist or two

This gambit cover to me is the worst cover of all time

I'm probably going to get ripped by all the Adams fanatics, but this cover really bothers me. Since reacquiring this book from my childhood, I've noticed something that I didn't catch when I was kid. Not that it's a bad concept, but rather an anatomical mistake.

 

 

Can anyone tell me what's going with Joker's left hip? Sorry, I just can't get pass it.

Maybe he sat on the Empire State Building?

 

I'll help you out - Adams is overrated.

 

I agree 100000%. I figured I'd be crucified via the intrawebs if I said anything negative about Adams. That broken disfigured Joker hip is mind numbing.

That is a disgrace to the artform I seriously wish I had never seen it.

That one is really bad.

When I saw it I just couldn't believe they went with that cover, especially on a #1.

Well, it was only one of five covers and they were printed in equal numbers, so it's fair to say that many people probably haven't even seen it.

It's the only Silver Age Batman I still own - because I love the ridiculousness of it.

 

One man's trash......

Thats really bad. Is that Tim Bradstreet? If so shame on you tim.

What's sad is I know a guy that actually looks just like Gambit on this cover... I mean, DEAD ringer!

Here's a scan of another very popular comic from my collection whose cover I really dislike:

 

 

Green Lantern is just very poorly drawn/painted, that's all.

the giant, purple, belt-wearing lizard with the six-shooter on his hip is okay, though, right?
