SILVER AGE COVER WINNERS #29-24

[Darrell F]

Showcase 34 is much-beloved by DC Silver fans, but it's always left me

Even as an avid DC collector, I have to agree with you.

Same here. Nothing that special about it.

Just an awesome cover by Jack - love the screaming throngs! Very scary!

 

# 24 - TALES TO ASTONISH 29 - received 36 votes.

Jack Kirby could flat out draw some great aliens.

This Cover shows a deadly invasion and the sheer overwhelming number of invaders is uncanny.

One of the favorites of the pre-hero Marvels, this cover was on the newstands at the same time as FF 3.

This is one of my favorite Kirby covers.

definitely the coolest cover i had never seen before this contest! Doesn't surprise me one bit though as so many of Kirby's early antman TTA covers are masterpeices!

You know I came to the SA forum today to vote on the SA covers.

I thought we had until the 31st, the end of the month.

So which books would you have voted for?

# 26 JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY 112 - which also received 34 votes but had a first place vote which lifts it past showcase 34.

Drawn by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone this cover shows pure strength and power.

The Hulk may have had a rocky start in his own magazine but he is idealy suited to being a huge guest star.

You can almost feel the tension being applied to Thor's hammer. Although that tension is contained in a small area of the cover it seems to be more than enough to hook your interest.

This book is a must have. Giving us a behind the scenes second look at an earlier matchup of Avengers # 3.

 

Fantastic cover ! This was number 4 on my list. Marvel's two most powerful heavyweights going toe to toe for the first time. How could anyone have seen this issue on the newstand and passed ?

# 25 - MYSTERY IN SPACE 90 - received 34 points in the three way tie, but it had a first and second place vote which pushed it ahead of JIM112.

Burntboy was kind enough to provide some text for it.

Penciled by Carmine Infantino and inked by Murphy Anderson - it just didn't get much better than that in the Silver Age.............

 

per Carmine when speaking about his inspiration for his Adam Strange renderings; "Degas and Modigliani influenced me the most". specifically in reference to the Cover for MIS #90 - "It was a simple idea, but it sure did have an effect on people".

 

i'm still waiting for Red Hook to send me the framed 11x16 blowup of my Original copy.............

 

I know I know. As soon as my new big format printer comes.... and I get my Spidey 18..... And this was my number 1 cover in the poll. It's a beaut!

your ASM is on the way sans the Red Hook co-created COA..........

Oh boy. Another Hulk battle cover. Sorry guys, but this cover sucks compared to the others that have shown up. The Hulk's head looks like it's on backwards and the color palate is beyond hideous.

I never have anybody on ignore, except for greggy one week.

 

I'm just a slow poke and was going to wait for the last day.

Just remember, it's your fault all those DC's made it that far.

Some of them were so scared that they lost their fedoras!
