1990s cover appreciation thread

[valiantman]

Given the popularity of the 1980s cover appreciation thread...

we might as well extend into the 1990s.

 

Here's my first choice:

 

(What else would I pick, right?)

Valiantman- Nice cover, but I felt that Turok and X-O had some of the best covers in the Valiant universe. Can you post some of those?

Well... this one, with both of those guys, is definitely the first one I thought of:

Some great Bart Sears art on that one. The work he did on X-O was awesome.

My favorite Valiant book (with #15). Great story and Sears at his best (which is saying something)

ValiantMan- Thank you. That was the cover I was thinking of but couldn't remember the issue. Any others?

Well, this cover is nice and shiny (chromium wrap-around):

 

But the original art is MUCH nicer:

 

Of course, Joe Quesada went on to bigger... (though "better" is still up for debate ) ...things.

...and it's hard to go wrong with Barry Windsor-Smith!

We should just rename this the "1990s Valiant cover appreciation thread".

I just go with the flow, ya know?

 

Looks like no one has requested any other covers!

Ugh. Well let me be the first then. Post some of the better Sin City covers. If you don't have them, I'll post em later.

I was going to post some Sandman covers, but after looking at them again, it is hard to find 1 or 2 that look that good by themselves. They were always more effective in contrast to what else was out on the racks at the comics shops back in the day.

 

The other series I followed through the 90's was Starman-- and there were some very cool painted covers in that run, both by Tony Harris and later Andrew Robinson. Here's one by Harris...

Looks like a remake of the Ditko cover of #33.

Does anyone have a picture of a MoonKnight cover. If I remember correctly it was an all black cover with just the fangs of a werewolf showing with blood dripping from one of the fangs. I think it was issue #18.

Wizard recently did an issue with the 100 best comic covers and it was one of them
