Pound for Pound, best series for Golden-Age covers 0

[Vision75]

Dear GAers,

 

In terms of memorable covers can any series compete pound-for-pound against Suspense Comics? There's Schomburg's #3 and many badass L.B. Cole covers too.

I would think that The best series would have to be Mask Comics #1 and #2 complete set.

 

I also think that Science Comics short run is really good, I've only got the 1st 4 issues:

For me it is Action Comics hands down from 1938 through 1945. Wish I could afford more of them!

I am partial to Weird Tales of the Future....I like/love all 8 of them for one reason or another.

If we include PCH, then Ghost Comics has a very sustained quality throughout the 11 issue run.

I can come close to agreeing with Suspense comics, but only because #8 is my favorite cover of all time. Planet Comics is also up there for me, as is WTOTF. Cat-Man, too, if you could wipe away all the non-Cole covers. Action Comics if you could only keep the Leo O'Mealia covers. I also think the first twenty covers of both Daredevil Comics and Boy Comics are terrific. As are all the Wood EC covers. Hit Comics is magical if you could do away with the Kid Eternity stuff. The first twenty covers of Zip Comics still blow my mind.

 

Did I hedge my bets enough?

I have had a chance to buy one of the Mask covers and passed on it but I 've bid on Science covers several times. I think many collectors like those strange Scifi covers. Why don't you sell your short run if you can't complete it?

all of the fox titles thru 7/40.
