Hekla Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) You know the feeling... you're flipping thru boxes at a con or your LCS and before you even see the title you see an all-too familiar comic dressing and your heart starts racing. Maybe for you it's the black and white checkerboard of late 60's DC or the big 'i' of early Image. For me it's the big yellow 'This Marvel Comic May be Worth $2500 to You' and DC's dumbbell-shaped $1.00 banner. These are the books that hit my nostalgic sweet-spot and I always pause to look at the books, regardless if I already have them or have no interest at all. Heck, I'm even starting to buy the books I used to not have interest in just because of the dressing. What gets you excited?

Senormac Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 God I hated those books with all that advertising on the top. I hate advertising in general as a rule . The DC checkered stripe I didn't mind at all because it looks like artwork. SquareChaos, bronze_rules, kav and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this was on the first Silver Age book that I spent more than few dollars on. Detective Comics 358 - every time I see an older DC book with this dressing they always catch my eye! kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01TheDude Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) This one is one I can relate to fondly as I bought tons of these of the rack.... and these with the Marvel Pop Art-- while only a ery short time in comic history-- are coveted by me for some reason as well...

Hekla Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I've been trying to complete sets of The Boys and The Authority lately too, so the seeing the WS (Wildstorm) logo makes me hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the average I also don't like those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It dominated the space and for me, ruined a lot of covers that might have been (arguably) iconic.

Crimebuster Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 For me it's the 52 BIG Pages! 25 cent logo from DC comics. If the price is right I will buy any book with that logo - and the 48 pages/25 cent ones as well, but it's the 52 BIG Pages that I really love. Best cover design era ever for me.
