Show us your GA "Flip up Corner Illusion" covers 0

[gadzukes]

Has a thread of these been started?  I know there's a zillion covers out there that do the gimmick where there's an illusion of the corner being flipped up.

I like where a character on the cover is actually pulling the page up (like the Superboy cover below)

Here's a question.... What's the oldest example of this gimmick in comics?

The Red Ryder 1 is from 1939.  Could it be the oldest example?

I wish I had a Walt Disney's Comics and Stories no. 1 to post...

I don't think I own a single issue with the corner being lifted, but I have several where the character just busts right thru the cover...

Here's my super low grade copy.  Hopefully someone with a nice one will post.

I love this era of GA Marvel comics where they had the flip corner in the upper left.

By the way...... how AWESOME is this cover?

I’ll go one better. A burst thru cover AND a corner flip!

Trust me, any copy of WDCS1 is a nice copy.

I think I have a copy of this and I didn't even know it had the corner flip because the cover is so busy.

I've been waiting for this one.  Aren't there a bunch of "Batman Flip up Corner" comics?

Not sure...but I think this is the only one I have.  I'll give a quick look through my Flickr images before they dump them.

Nothing says "bursting through" like this one for me...
