This cover has such a modern look and feel, I'm always shocked to recall it's from 1968.
-
I have never been a Batman comics fan, but I have this lone issue of LotDK in my collection.
-
This comic has some unbelievable covers. I'm not generally a fan of this style of character illustration, but the concept is simply amazing.
-
I am a sucker for good pinks on a comic cover.
-
I don't like GL one bit, but what an iconic image this is.
-
Such a striking image. I love when villains cross over from their main nemesis to torture someone else for a change.
-
I'm already a sucker for covers that are doing a literal break of the fourth wall by showing the cover being destroyed, but the monochromatic coloring on this one seals the deal.
-
More or less my favorite cover of all time.
-
Wow.
-
Not the most impressive cover ever, but I just don't feel like we see foreground elements like the weapons very often and I love the coloring.
-
Iconic.
-
An iconic Jim Lee image.
-
One of Alan Davis's all-time best covers.
-
I love the light wisps of the psychic effect against the solid wall of flames.
-
Sure, Land probably traced the whole thing out of a Gothic architecture book. It's still pretty.
-
A really striking image. It's a pity that it isn't actually a good character model of Hope - she's never depicted as looking like this.
-
This is a modern classic.
-
Best Rogue cover ever?
-
Scarier than Voldemort.
-
So much to love here! The classic horror vibe. The bold dash of blood against the dark and earth-tone colors, and how it covers his eyes. The shading of the background. It's a shame they had to mar it with so much Marvel junk at the bottom.
-
Totally irrelevant image, inaccurate facial features, and the horrific 90s red on black title treatment. But, yeah, it's a great cover.
-
-
If this had been the cover to the TPB rather than the horrific, confused first issue cover maybe we could have had a volume two. Covers sell comics, Marvel, even collected ones.
-
Such a classic. Nothing to detract from it except Kitty's scowl.
-
One of the all-time best Phoenix covers.
-
I remember being shocked by this Bill Sienkiewicz beauty in the midst of a run of more standard cover fare.
-
-
Wow, is this the first ever use of someone on the cover grabbing the logo?
-
It's a shame this cover has so much junk on it in the original format - the illustration is frame-worthy.
-
This is so amazing. I don't even have words.
