That was some heavy thumb action on my part

That's  what?

Now you say "It can be a sentence if I want!"

It can be......

If "this is going to hurt"

Is innuendo 

Then I've been collecting this series all wrong

There were so many dumb covers in the '70s by Marvel, usually with the characters making some comment about how some super villain who had been around for 5 minutes was going to kill some superhero who had survived fights in over 100 issues by then, or some superhero who had survived those battles said he was going to die. Or even Medusa here implying she wasn't going to take any time off for eating and sleeping after they see off the unbelievable menaces (!) of Ternak

Johnny Storm-what's the big surporise here?  When have your fireballs ever defeated anyone?  Think about it.

I dont see how Kneel Atoms could screw this up.  If I was drawing the pants I'd stop and say wait i just drew pants-
Sort of an automatic safety feature one would think.

Evidently, he had drawn Batman naked in the sand in that pose. Editor said "Absolutely not" and so instead of drawing a loincloth, like any sane person would have, Adams just colored the legs grey and colored in the codpiece undies and called it a day.

naked Baman would have been a key issue for sure.

I still like this cover

This is my favorite Bat cover, Adams cover and Bat story in the Bronze age. 232 was pretty good as well.

It might be a bit of a reach, but that cover sorta coincided with the Burt Reynolds 1972 Cosmopolitan two page spread. People went "bananas" over that and then we got a Neal Adams homage in September of that year.

I didn't want to. Believe me. I have a massive headache right now and that sudden little epiphany hasn't helped.

Lord I hate headaches.  They frighten me.  Get well soon.

I have utter contempt for this one. What did Superman's junk ever do to YOU, Junk-Man? What? "JUNK-Man"? Come on. I wonder if Elliot S! Maggin caved in to his wife Pamela King demands to include their two children, Sarah and Jeremy Maggin's idea for a Superman story for publication. If so, little wonder their marriage failed. Twice.

[Randall Ries]

"Pained Corpse Gripping" anyone? Cyclops really taking it in the pants here. I thought he had to lift his visor to shoot out his eye power malarkey. Does that help with the grieving process? Next time I lose a loved one, I'm on the front lawn with my glasses on my forehead while kneeling.

These intense covers shows Wolverine and Hulk for what could easily be mistaken as a scene in some privacy-free military bathroom where both titans are coming to terms with the reality that Spider-Man spiked their chocolate milk with Ex-Lax and all they can do is stare at each other and scream.
