You're literally judging the book by its cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yes, in this very narrow context I most certainly am. We are only talking about "favorite cover" so that would seem appropriate, right? I'm just saying that sometimes the fact that a cover features a first appearance influences the perception of how good the cover is.

I prefer Buscema’s Avengers annual 2 cover. My favorite Surfer cover is FF 72. That’s the trouble with assigning lots of value because of a cover; tastes vary. There are always desenting lunatics like me out there! Hmm, I definitely see what you mean about FF #72. First of all it's Kirby in all his splendor, complete with krackle, and second it focuses 100% on the Surfer. Third, I am crazy about monochrome covers. Thor is my favorite character of all, so I think that could be influencing my thoughts on this. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, some are unable to discern what is great on its own merits from what is often seen because of what it covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
