Our Favorite Comic Book Covers - Part 2

Posted on 6/6/2013

In the second article of this series, four different team members each share their favorite covers and why they're so important.



Wonderworld Comics #7

I'm a huge fan of legendary artist Lou Fine, and this is my favorite example of his genius draftsmanship and layout — Wonderworld Comics #7. His covers and interiors were so dynamic and beautifully illustrated, it's no wonder that he served as inspiration to legends to come, such as Jim Steranko and Jack Kirby.

Superman #32

Though at first glance it may seem like a cover with not a lot to it, Superman #32 is definitely one of my favorite Golden Age covers. Struck by several bolts of lightning, Superman feels barely anything; in fact, it only tickles him, proving without a single doubt — and with just simple imagery — that he truly is a man of steel.

Jumbo Comics #12

The Will Eisner–drawn cover to Jumbo Comics #12 from February 1940 is one of my all-time favorites. The artist's talent for illustrating from an angled perspective, coupled with his attention for detail, makes this scene a real beauty. Action and adventure oozes from every square inch of this colorful, swashbuckling masterpiece.

Amazing Adventures #29

The cover perfectly reflects the character's motivation. No pretense — just put down those who oppress humanity, regardless of the cost to self.
