Silver Age Favorite Covers Contest

[namisgr]

Lotta nice but mundane covers making the nominations list!

 

How's about these classics?

You know, I consider myself a Marvel Zombie, but I'll admit that DC Bronze Age covers have it all over Marvels of the same period. But when it comes to the Silver Age there's no questiuon in my mind that Marvels are generally much better. Especially if you pull Neal Adams out of the equation.

 

Neal worked for Marvel too y'know

 

I'm well aware of that, thank you. But Neal worked predominantly for DC during the Silver Age . His first work at Marvel was, iirc, X-Men 56 (May 1969).

If it's Marvel I have scans.

I'll add the Batman, and the Justice League. We already had the Showcase listed.

In case anyone doesn't know, you can get scans of virtually any comic out there on this website. It's very easy to use.

 

Grand Comic Database

 

For example, this one page alone provides a quick glance of Batman 151-201. A perfect way to look for books to nominate. It's a lot quicker than looking through boxes of comics:

 

Batman Silver Covers

 

And, Mica, great job with getting all those scans up so quickly. Very impressive!!!

[burntboy]

I think, that one has already been nominated. Nice cover though. Sheldon Moldoff and Sprang define The Dark Knight for the Silver Age in my opinion.

Now, we're getting somewhere!

[tth2]

I see many of my favorites are already nominated or in the covers gallery, but here's 5 additional worthy nominations, including some under-represented Gold Keys:

 

B&B 36

 

 

Sgt Fury 64

 

 

Turok 12

 

 

Doctor Solar 10

 

 

Tarzan 163

 

[adamstrange]

Good suggestions, tth2. Now if we could only get some scans of nice copies...

 

I would add JLA 21 as another classic. Perhaps tth2 can provide a nice scan of that one for us?

 

Also, for war books I would suggest GI Combat 87 (greytone to boot) and Showcase 57.

 

To show that I'm not prejudiced against Marvels, I didn't notice Hulk 6, or Hulk 1 for that matter. Those are usually the issues that I hear folks describe as classic.

Speaking of greytones, there are any number that could be added but here's my favorite.
