the blob Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I really like the way Kubert laid out some of his war covers. I do not happen to own a copy, but this one always catches my eye, the yellow panels, whatever. Any SA covers that are innovative, experimental, just sort of "different" for the era that you really like? Kubert has a bunch more of these that give me the same reaction.

Math Teacher Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I've always considered Amazing Spider-Man #28 to be quite innovative. Joe namisgr, JohnH19 and KirbyJack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyL Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Don't know if these are innovative, but definitely different and not the norm. Usually, the typical Silver Age comic cover captured a key moment in time of an interior story. A few, however, were three-panel covers. They showed a "passage of time" instead of a frozen moment in time. Here are some examples. (Flash, below, was not three-panels, but certainly indicated a "passage of time." Flash action pics were like this quite a bit.) Thanks! MGsimba77 and HuddyBee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namisgr Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) Another cool innovation was when Richard Powers painted the cover to Doctor Solar #2 in 1962 to make it look like it had been ripped, giving the prospective buyer/reader a peek into the dramatic and cataclysmic interior of the book.

Joe I've also wondered how this was printed. I assume that Steve Ditko drew the Molten Man and Spider-Man normally, and then when the production art was created, they reversed the whites and the blacks. Anyone else have a theory?
