A topic I've had the idea for, but never posted about.

 

How about boxing/wrestling ring covers?

 

Here's Hal with his ever-present green boxing glove:

I've never even SEEN that cover before! Thanks for posting it!

 

As as old-school pro wrestling fan, that cover is VERY interesting. I'd like to have a copy of it, even though I don't collect Superman.

In Selegue's vein, there is also this one:

 

[14 of spades]

daredevil 43

 

[Davenport]

No Daredevil 43 yet? It's a great one.

I knew I was forgetting one other prime Superman cover. Here are some prime Jimmy Olsen examples. Why so many? Was one of the DC editors (Weisinger) really into boxing and wrestling? Maybe they were more popular with the general public, or at least the people buying comic books, than I realize.
