[Jayman]

Now that's more like it! Copper Horror!

 

A couple neat covers...

 

First Xenozoic tales I believe.

How cool is this cover by Kaluta?

 

 

Love that Kaluta-c and haven't seen it before. I just got some back from cgc and will post shortly.

[johnenock]

Notice the cgc mislabel. I think this one is the 9.8. They even swapped the #'s on the books.

 

And this one, though technically bronze, I'll show for the errors mistake. Should be the 9.6

unexpected 212 and HOM 287... awesome! Hadn't seen those before!

The Silver Age Favorite Covers voting went so well! Let's see if they (or someone?) can do the same thing for the Copper Age!

[B-Smooth]

Its inevitable. Copper is king as far as covers go, so it will be interesting.

Warlock 5 did have some great covers also... had forgotten about them. Beauvais I think. This one hasn't aged so well though Looks like that singer Pink - which is to say not too sexy.

I just scanned in a bunch, I'll post them one at a time. First, my favorite from the Elektra Assassin run. This book was practically an Elseworlds story compared with her Daredevil appearances up till then, and that's what makes it great. Miller and Sienkiewicz haad so much fun and it shows.

Mage was my favorite book of the 80s, probably. To me, it really peaked with issue #8, which was in the exact middle of the 15 issues, so that symmetry also appeals. With the addition of Sam Kieth to do inks and colors around #6, it really got amazing. This cover is one of my all-time favorites. The sweet pastel gouache, the drama, and the deco Grendel popup. It's got the hero, the villain, the mentor, and the 2 soldiers, one of whom is perpetrating a sly joke.

And Bolland is popular in this thread so here are 3 of my favorites from his name-making run.

I don't care if her back is being eaten by evil fungus, I'll be knockin' them boots again, tonight.

[helionaut]

And some key Byrne FFs

[helionaut]

This issue was fun. Someone copped topless shots of She-Hulk tanning on the roof of the Baxter Building and she set off after them. This issue probably informed quite a bit the tone and style of the current She-Hulk series.

 

What does a tan do for a green woman, anyway? Get forest green?

[helionaut]

And this one caused quite a debate amongst us kids at the time trying to figure out if it was a photo, a painting, or what. Plus, it wasn't Byrne, it was one of the production guys, Elliot something, who later became an assistant editor or editor.

No Copper discussion is complete without some Chaykin.

Does the sentiment in this image still apply?

[helionaut]

And this one is just cool.
