A Cover a Day

Posted by Steve W on October 27, 2016 at 9:36am in Mr Silver Age

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.

    Seeing a floating head is bad enough, but being trapped in one...

    We've done floating heads but how about a floating skull!  Ghost Rider #35 from April 1979.

    The TV series went in all kinds of strange directions, but I think that only the comic brought pirates to Collinsport.

      Actually, the TV series brought zombie pirates to Collinwood in the 1995 "flash-forward" sequence.

      Ah! I've never made it that far into the series.
