A Cover a Day

[Steve W]

Ok, how about this for an idea.  We take it in turns to post a favourite (British spelling) comic cover every day.  This went really well on the comic fan website that I used to frequent.  What we tried to do was find a theme or subject and follow that, until we all got bored with that theme.  I'd like to propose a theme of letters of the alphabet. So, for the remainder of October (only 5 days) and all of November, we post comic cover pictures associated with the letter "A".  Then in December, we post covers pertaining to the letter "B".  The association to the letter can be as tenuous as you want it to be. For example I could post a cover from "Adventure Comics" or "Amazing Spider Man".  However Spider Man covers can also be posted when we're on the letter "S".  Adventure Comic covers could also be posted when we're on the letter "L" if they depict the Legion of Super Heroes.  So, no real hard, fast rules - in fact the cleverer the interpretation of the letter, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

And it's not written in stone that we have to post a cover every day. There may be some days when no cover gets posted. There's nothing wrong with this, it just demonstrates that we all have lives to lead.

 

If everyone's in agreement I'd like to kick this off with one of my favourite Action Comic covers, from January 1967. Curt Swan really excelled himself here.

Finally, for me this month, I'm gonna end "L" with Adventure #360, one of my favourite Legion covers.

November 2017 - Letter M.

Another month, another letter. I'll kick this month off with "Mystery In Space" #47, Oct 1958, with cover by Gil Kane. Can't see this particular sport catching on at the Olympics.

My last two L's (both the original and the reprint) also count as M's.

Also, I hope no one will mind too much if I post one additional Mt. Rushmore Lincoln.

Metal Men #48 (N'76) was the peak of Martin Pasko and Walt Simonson's all-too=brief run!

Jeff of Earth-J,

That's one that eluded me.  Thanks.

Another Metal Men, one of my favorite titles.  Everything goofy about Kanigher, Andru, and Esposito's work just jelled with this title.  I think this is the first issue I ever saw, #12.

The Metal Men were also one of Batman's more popular co-stars in Brave & Bold.
