Re: Comic Book Covers

Unfortunately a good deal of artists were unappreciated at Marvel Comics, even the late great Jack Kirby was upset by this and went to DC Comics for a while.

Re: Comic Book Covers

This is one of my favorite comic book stories.

This tale was part of a multicomic crossover series about the powerful and villainous THANOS trying to rule the universe during the 1970's.

Star Trek
comics






















The X-Men teamed up with Capt. Kirk's crew is so cool,
as well as the artwork from the classic comic covers of the past.

One of my favorite HULK stories, in this issue he battles against the mightiest villains from Marvel Comics early 1960's monster comic books with none stop action!
Cover art by Jack Kirby who also created all of the fiendish bad guys.












(She-Hulk battles Red Hulk)


HULK went through a few color changes like Gray, and like you see here Red, but that was because something happen to him. Eventually he would return to his greenish color.


















PLANET HULK series was later turned into an animated movie.

Spider-Woman leads the Avenger team in this issue.
The cool thing I like about the Avengers comic series is that they change characters now and then.







Captain America battles Baron Zemo in WW2.







If you're going up against She-Hulk, you better bring bigger guns.

Nice to meet you Rand00. I'm a big fan too of Neal Adams, I especially like his work on Batman. If you look back in this thread you'll see some of his cover art.

Here's some you might like.

This first issue of a multichapter story looks interesting. The Fantastic Four and Tigra the tiger-woman are part of this saga.







I don't know who the ninja guy is, but I see the mighty Luke Cage wearing a black shirt.







Wow, Nova (upper left corner) and Moon Knight (lower right corner) are part of the Secret Avengers.
Two of my favorite superheros from the early 1980's.







Giant Man & and the Wasp help battle against the evil empire of HYDRA.








The Beast doesn't need a weapon.

I wouldn't want to be the villain this trio is after.






I like this pulp 1940's art styled cover.







I wonder if the Collector visits sci-fi fan conventions?







Classic Avengers with Captain Marvel (captive), I'd sure like to read this one.







Spooky looking cover

This cover always bothered me, because Darth Vader looks weird.
