Popular Post lpsunburst Posted June 18 Popular Post Share Posted June 18 Perhaps CGC is using the wrong terms or perhaps should introduce the classification of "Iconic". For example, one of these is, in my mind at least, a classic while the other is truly "Iconic".

"Classic" vs "Iconic" - Now that could be a fun poll to take on individual books both in comics and in pulps. Cushing Fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better for CGC to just not make any judgement at all about the cover art. Edited Saturday at 06:32 PM by Sarg typo PopKulture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookery Posted Sunday at 09:06 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:06 PM At the early pulp conventions, the official terms for cover-art like this was "Neat-O" and "Nifty". Of course those collectors were rather old. These terms, however, replaced "The Bees-Knees cover art" employed by the prior generation. jimjum12, Point Five, Cushing Fan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you were discussing the subject, I always considered "classic" to trump "icon". I also consider "classic" to possibly also draw from the content, where an "icon" cover is based on style and execution of the cover art only ... it could have a commode instructional inside.
