Need help finding specific comic covers
2 2

44 posts in this topic

Hey guys I've been working on a bit of a strange side project where I'm looking into getting mostly single colored covers for a display. In this case I mean the cover is at least 75% in a single color. They don't have to be keys whatsoever but silver age highly preferred. 

For example I own Fantastic Four 79 for green, Tales to Astonish 98 for blue and X-Men 17 for red. Ideally I'd like to add purple, orange and yellow. I've tried searching but haven't had any success. Hoping you legends just have some thoughts off the top of your collective heads.

 

Thank you!!

I'm not sure if you've already tried this but I would search google for:

"orange [purple/yellow] cover comic"

and review the image section of the results and find which suits your needs.

Sgt Fury 16 for (mostly) yellow. Great cover.

Solar 10 - earliest all-black cover I can think of. Same for FF 371 - all-white (embossed); 2nd print is all-red. These may be cheating a bit, though...

Sgt fury 16 is pretty perfect, and awesome cover to boot. Staying away from black and white for now but def appreciate the recommendations

For orange, maybe this:

That's a decent one.  I bet there's lots of modern "fire" issues from Marvel... like this Wolverine: Firebreak

What can I say?  I collect a lot of modern Wolverines.

For more orange, the whole Origin series may be good.

With #2 being one of my all-time absolute favorites.

Thank you so much to everyone who posted. Uncanny 251 was actually the top of my list for purple but I'm really trying to keep it to silver age if possible. I went through some full runs (thank you cover browser lol) and found some maybes but not perfect
