sagii Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 So i have a group of collectors i chat with on IG, and after HA posted a Top 10 Skull covers to 'look out for' last Friday, it occured to me: You can point to many Golden Age (hero and pch) examples for the category You can point to many Pulp Magazine examples for the category You can point to many Bronze Age (horror comics in particular) for the category But i couldn't think of any notable/classic Silver Age covers for the category. Other collectors seemed stumped as well, but one pointed out 'Tales to Astonish #96 ( a good one). Covers with the Red Skull were also acknowledged. But any others beyond that? And while the Red Skull ones are welcomed here would like to what else is out there that i seem to be forgetting or just not aware of. For the sake of this Thread, let's say 1960 - 1969 My Silver collection is light at the moment, so i'm just a spectator here. Post 'em if you got 'em!!!

Popular Post namisgr Posted May 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) Marvel largely abandoned the horror genre for their comics, once the Atlas era was over. But some of the magazines of the Silver Age had plenty of horror, some taking the cover art to cheap new extremes.

DC war never showed an American being killed on it's cover or even being shot, but what they did sometimes show was a scene just moments before an American was killed such as this cover to Our Army at War #37 the soldier is doomed and the cave opening shaped as a skull foretells as much. the first man on point often has a near death sentence ... even if he has a backup who tosses a grenade in the cave the enemy will still come out guns blazing and he is so close that his only hope is that the enemy somehow misses him or he is just wounded Professor Echo, Raze, FoggyNelson and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
