"When DC entered the second generation of 100 page giants (new material and reprints for 60 cents with ads) they combined Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane and the fledgling Supergirl titles of the early 1970s to create The Superman Family, but continued the…"
"In the original edition of DC's 100 page giants (NO ads for just 50 cents) you could do a lot of splitting with a double wide cover. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)"
"Most of the split covers on "funny books" tell one gag like a comic strip, which is why I haven't posted any fun covers on weekends for this month's theme. However this humor book did take a slightly different approach to using a split cover. (Image…"
"I didn't discover this title until finding some issues at a garage sale, but it was certainly an interesting if short lived series. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)"
"Well, I knew the last part of my previous post wasn't possible Jeff, but I still don't think that the presence of a Time Trapper has been established in every Legion series. Has it?"
"I'm sure everyone knows the answer to the cover's question by now, but I won't spoil it for you. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)"
"A bigger question at the moment might be should there or even will there be a Time Trapper in the upcoming Legion series, let alone was there a Time Trapper in all the other versions? That could be omnious, especially if it turned out to be the…"

"Despite the predictable outcome because the Comics Code Authority said the villain always had to lose in the end, this was a good story and an interesting use of the split cover motif. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)"
"Personally I'm still leaning towards Painted Covers, since it's an art form rarely used for comic book covers today."
"Two different plot points of the same story in a split cover. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)"
"Besides the membership anomoly, has anyone noticed that Starfinger's manacles are secured by combination locks? Amazing that those still exist in the 30th century."
"This is definitely an interesting split. The same villain has already taken on and defeated two heroes in different guises and is about to go after a third. (Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)"
"For today's double feature to finish playing catch up, two from the Superman family history. On the left is the very first official DC 80 page giant and when it was Action Comics' turn in the rotation, they featured Supergirl stories since Superman…"
