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.) Ross Andru had done a couple of beautiful Wonder Woman triptych covers in 1962-63 which were thus prior to the ones above: Edited November 21 by Hepcat 1 RandyL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you truly want the passage of (eons of) time over three panels, this one should really do it for you: 3 RandyL, Unca Ben and davidtere reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unca Ben 11,070 posts Posted November 25 On 11/15/2019 at 5:12 PM, Joe Ankenbauer said: 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? Joe Nope. A famous collector owns this cover and it's drawn and inked as printed. No reversal. There have been posts on here showing the original art, and there's an article out there about said collector that shows this piece and many other great pieces. I'll be darned if I can find either, but they are out there. Ditko is just that awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisco37 33,545 posts Posted November 25 It's not considered one of the classic covers, but Spidey 55 is pretty cool where the "action" is reflected in Doc Ock's glasses. Also, most of the Steranko Fury covers are pretty wild. 1, 4, 5 and 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always loved this cover yet wondered of all characters, why Hawkman and Metamorpho? I mean Hawkman is DC's greatest creation, but that isn't the consensus of most DC fans. It just seems an odd hero selection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
