Title: Favorite Super Covers Post by: Super Monkey on September 11, 2005, 06:34:09 PM Superman and his Super Family of comics always had some of the best covers ever, way back when, in the pre-reboot days.
Here are some of my personal favorite covers, I shall start with Jimmy Olsen: (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1027/400/1027_4_057.jpg) (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1027/400/1027_4_063.jpg) (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1027/400/1027_4_105.jpg) (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/1027/400/1027_4_111.jpg) Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: Super Monkey on September 11, 2005, 06:56:20 PM Action Comics, there are so many great ones, so I limit myself to these:

I like the funny ones too, these two made me want to read them... Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: Super Monkey on September 11, 2005, 07:56:50 PM Notice that Jimmy is smiling while saying that and that he kept on shooting his film, LOL.
Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: MatterEaterLad on September 11, 2005, 08:01:04 PM Well, he screwed up his ideas for that movie SO much I don't blame him for smiling thinking he had SOME usable footage... :D
I always wonder why so many Superman artists gave reptilian monsters opposable thumbs... 8) Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: MatterEaterLad on September 11, 2005, 08:14:08 PM (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/216/400/216_4_195.jpg)
Forget the universe's mightiest being and his "code", Batman with a Tommy Gun looks BADASS... Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: Super Monkey on September 11, 2005, 08:30:37 PM Lois Lane covers:

We all love super babies and with this one we got 'em on a cover with future banks that use teller's cages and coins...and inside, the Time Trapper, Glorith, and adults reverting to primordial ooze...

(http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/97/400/97_4_0000312.jpg) Had so many of these growing up - read and reread and loved. Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: Klar Ken T5477 on September 11, 2005, 11:33:58 PM (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/97/400/97_4_0000328.jpg)

(http://image.milehighcomics.com/istore/images/large/83754703976.383.gif) (http://image.milehighcomics.com/istore/images/large/83754703976.391.gif) (http://image.milehighcomics.com/istore/images/large/83754703976.412.gif) (http://image.milehighcomics.com/istore/images/large/83756635410.1.gif) (http://image.milehighcomics.com/istore/images/large/83756635410.10.gif) And I could add many others...! Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: nightwing on September 12, 2005, 08:26:40 AM For some reason, be it colors, the vertiginous perspective, the oddity of the situation, I don't know, this cover always stood out for me:
(http://nightwing.supermanfan.net/covers/s-174.jpg) This may have been the oldest Superman comic in my collection as a wee lad, and while the story was lame, the cover was mesmerizing: (http://nightwing.supermanfan.net/covers/s-225.jpg) Nick Cardy was one of the best cover artists Supes ever had, and this one was my favorite of his: (http://nightwing.supermanfan.net/covers/sm-274.jpg) JLGL's coolest cover. Would that the interior lived up to the promise of this image... (http://nightwing.supermanfan.net/covers/s-322.jpg) From the Golden Age, I always liked this one: (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/116/400/116_4_023.jpg) But if I could have only one cover in my whole collection, it would have to be this one: (http://nightwing.supermanfan.net/covers/s-233.gif) Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: Klar Ken T5477 on September 12, 2005, 08:41:56 AM Ah Nightwing - that's how to do a "reboot". Just stick a large Number ONE on the cover (even if it isn't)!
Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: Spaceman Spiff on September 12, 2005, 08:42:52 PM A few of my favorites:

Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: NotSuper on September 14, 2005, 10:06:39 PM Man, you guys took all the good ones!
Oh well, I get to do this one: (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/97/400/97_4_0000001.jpg) "Take THAT cars!" Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: NotSuper on September 14, 2005, 10:17:26 PM (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/116/400/116_4_001.jpg)
Another good one. Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: Klar Ken T5477 on September 15, 2005, 12:15:02 AM (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/116/400/116_4_201.jpg)
(http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/116/400/116_4_167.jpg) (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/116/400/116_4_144.jpg) Joe Kubert's ONLY Superman cover (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/116/400/116_4_216.jpg) (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/116/400/116_4_241.jpg) Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: nightwing on September 15, 2005, 08:13:35 AM I agree this is a really cool cover:
(http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/116/400/116_4_201.jpg) ...but the story inside is so awful it kind of makes up for it. And this one by Joe Kubert is also fabulous. The story is a bit off-beat, and not quite great, but as it deals with the still-in-progress war in Vietnam (an event so far as I know otherwise ignored in the super-books of the era), it certainly has some historical appeal... (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/116/400/116_4_216.jpg) But for the record, it wasn't Kubert's only Superman cover. He also did the cover...and interior art (YAY!!!!)... for this gorgeous issue of DCCP: (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/2440/400/2440_4_66.jpg) Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: Great Rao on September 15, 2005, 08:35:37 AM Not strictly Superman, but I've always liked it:
(http://superman.nu/super-sons/saga/0.gif) And I like my own "special edition" version of Superman 296: (http://superman.nu/tales2/whotook/1/page-0.gif) Another "photo background" cover, this one with Neal Adams' Superman: (http://superman.nu/tales3/molten/0.gif) 2nd vote for Superman 391, which has always been a long-time favorite: (http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/116/400/116_4_391.jpg) In mine own immortal words, "more soon!" ;) :s: Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: nightwing on September 15, 2005, 08:59:38 AM And here I was just bragging about my new 20-inch monitor. That Superman is such a show-off.
Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: Great Rao on September 15, 2005, 09:33:10 AM He had a widescreen/flatscreen before the rest of us.
:s: Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: nightwing on September 15, 2005, 09:51:33 AM Yes, and apparently he was using "Google," too.
Title: Re: Favorite Super Covers Post by: Klar Ken T5477 on September 15, 2005, 02:14:23 PM whoa nightwing must search out that DDCP team up! Hoo boy! :s:
