Is it just me, or does just a bit the appeal of the 20-centers go away once the "Line of Super-Stars" copy gets added to the DC bullet at the upper left corner?

 

 

And then drops even more when the "Still Only 20 cents" hype is added at the top right?

Kinda, especially when the price became crammed with the issue number and date into the disc. Is the "Still Only 20 cents" going for a sun or eclipse look?

Awesome thread. I have a copy of Batman 234 with the complete banner showing with space to spare. That was REALLY hard to find! This cover sports not only the whole 20 cent circle, but Lings complete left foot as well.

I can't think of any keys to add. Seems most of what would be a "key" came earlier in the decade.

No. I'm still good with that one.

Yeah, now it seems a little too busy to me. I've always liked the 20 cent period from DC. I enjoy the stories and the variety, though some of the titles seem a bit wacky in retrospect.
