Cap America only appeared on covers as part of Avengers but a few of his TOS stories are included in non-marvel cover issues. 

Thanks for that link. I have never seen it before.(Thumbs up).

I remember reading somewhere (in these pages I think) a post about non superhero covers which actually had superhero stories in them. Are you here to remind us where this appeared Get Marwood & I ?

.. and on page 1 of this thread we have the reprint of first Spider-Man from Amazing Fantasy #15 which Alan didn’t see worthy of a cover appearance.

The other subset I was going to go for were Pre hero Marvel covers - will need to make up a list - Suspense # 26 has first Doctor Strange

I’ve a few cap America’s and x-men 8 that I can think of. Spider-Man #3 also appears without a cover but I haven’t got that one.

An iconic Steranko cover, Alan Class style;

I like that Alan has included a bullet hole logo.

[mikeyc67]

Nice clean copy. Hadn’t noticed the logo before - cool

I like how the webbing sits behind the main title, but over the top wording on that issue - it looks cool.

What was the record I wonder?

There are four of these in the same title - 10, 104, 132 and 161:

 

I have the two above, 104 is on the way and am still looking for 132

Not aware of any Marvel covers more than two (of which there are many). Can’t think of any issues at all more than four times, the only other four-er I can think of is Uncanny tales 31, 86 (which I posted earlier) 127 and 157. But there are probably others (that atlas cover of policeman walking down street seems ever present on eBay.

Secrets of The Unknown 18, 148 and 246 from a quick scan. 

When you think about it, it would have made much more sense to reuse the same book across different titles. Any kid who collected just Uncanny Tales would ultimately see the same cover four times. If Alan had used it four times across four titles however....

It's not as if the titles were specific to the reprinted content.
