I’m jealous 🤯

Me, too. 
I used to have the 1-99 run; of course NOT in the gleaming conditions bc enjoys. 
Now I have just the Cap issues.

This is awesome!!! I must admit, I kinda want a blanket that looks like this, with the TOS 39 & 40 added into the lineage after the #38 to replace the yellow box at the top. Laugh all you want, but I bet it'd be a hot seller if a local comic shop sold them for $50!!!  :banana:

If we combine all the cover shots into "1 photo" , it's still a minimum of $70.

I got a Godzilla version using movie posters from the first to Shin Godzilla for a gift earlier this year. It's nicer in person, but it looks like this:

Any love out there for when Marvel split the title between two big stars? 

Tales of Suspense 59 raw.jpg

I love the book being split between the two, but what I absolutely HATED - and still do to this day - are when the covers orient the characters on the opposite side of where their name appears in the masthead. I HATE having Iron Man appear below Cap's headline and vice versa. It makes my designer brain short circuit and my eye twitch every time. That #59 cover would just be so good if you flipped the art horizontally (though I get why they did it, as having offset characters and names means if only half the book was peeking out and visible on the newsstand you could see at least one characters name and the other depicted in the art - so easier to advertise what's in the book that way with limited space)

It just hits extra hard when you see perfectly lined up split covers like this - which just feel right.

Wow, that is SO interesting to me!!! Seriously, I've never really given any thought or much notice even, to the concept of them being positioned under their name or lack of positioning under their name! I suppose that's just an aesthetic thing that either REALLY bothers you or it doesn't at all. Sweet copy you've got there by the way!!! Such a great issue too!!!  :banana:
