ITT: Kino comic covers

My senior year English teacher had a print of Action Comics #1 hung up on his room's wall. I think it's pretty kino

>>151157104
What is this guy's problem?

>>151157316
EC was decades ahead of their time, no wonder the industry, the U.S. Senate, and Doc Wertham went after them.

This is one of the earliest comics I remember buying new.

I like covers with American flags

I want to have wild sex with Freddy

>>151157696
Keep that shit to yourself, man.

>>151157637
>What If The Hulk Went Berserk?
So just what he normally does?

This thread needs more kino. So I'll dump more Spider-Man

>>151157746
That's a super kino cover anon

>>151157925
Adding to the Spider-Man love

A lot more

>>151157910
Hulk is usually just having a tantrum that's hardly berserk

And more

And obviously the best comic book cover of all time, it's a fact

>>151158109
Not even in the top 100.

>>151158985
Love this one

>>151157450
nice one

>>151157240
I think a guy just came out of nowhere, picked up a car and smashed it on a boulder.

So there's a lot of covers that are iconic are paid homage to many times over and over. That's well and good but I can't help but wonder when the last time we got a iconic cover was. Granted the stories themselves are in the same boat so that's probably why but it seems like things have been over fixated on references and nostalgia for far too long.

>>151161056
When they started to get homages, they became iconic whatever if we like it or not.

Like Uncanny X-force issue 1.

>>151161361
See I feel like you probably wouldn't even recognize this was an homage in enough time.

I liked this cover, before I read the damn thing...

love that monster

Really putting the pressure on

>>151157240
he's fine

>>151160648
Wow what an asshole

I do hope this becomes the cover of Triangle Era Omni 3

>>151158277
Unironically believing that is synonymous with basically disliking Spider-Man

>>151161463
It's a very generic pose with nothing interesting

None of these are kino.

>>151163624
I feel like it's probably not even top 50 Spuder-man covers.

>>151163705
Well post the best spuderman cover, at least post a better one

>>151163778
Not him but I always liked this one

Pretty fond of this one too.

I remember seeing this one on display at my LCS when I was very young and being really mesmerized/scared of it.

A big shadow is always a nice touch

>>151162854
Mysterio is always kino

>>151163802
>>151163816
Obviously they're good. #33 is one of the best ones, and #52 is underrated, but nothing beats #100

>>151163889
It's kind of a joke to laugh at this kind of thing now but at the time this was a really huge deal. Like it's really important to remember when this shit wasn't a joke.

>>151162302
That doesn't make any sense. This was an actual character and certainly not the first guy to see Superman in Metropolis.

>>151164756
you're assuming the writer read the actual issue for research instead of just looking at the cover for his joke

>>151158021
I like Life in the Mad Dog Ward but the covers were really deceptive since the interiors just look like your average 80s comic
A Spider-Man comic with art like Morrison's Arkham Asylum would be kino

>>151162087

Potential reaction image aquired.

>>151161463
>>151163653
Pretty much every Absolute Batman cover is already iconic because Batman being built like a brick shithouse and having a fat bat symbol was the most talked about DC thing for a while

>>151164919
Being a meme isn't being iconic

>>151156872 (OP)
You start.

Event's hit or miss but it had some nice covers.

>>151165606
>Event's shit or miss

>>151157659
I really want this as a poster

>>151163407
I love this one too, nice post anon. Really good thread keep going people.

>>151161056
I think immortal hulk one has almost hit that status

>>151158109
>>151158277
>>151163624
Amazing 100 doesn’t have an iconic cover, it’s fine for what it is but I wouldn’t put it anywhere near the 100 best comic covers of all time or even in the 100 best spidey covers of all time

>>151165606
I do like that everyone knew that Pete should’ve just been on caps side the whole time

>>151167073
I'd put it in the top 100 Spidey covers. 200 probably not, same with 600 and 800. 700 is kinda lazy so I don't know about that one either. It's a neat concept but eh. 100, 300, 400, and 500 are the best. No argument there.
I like the JMS covers for the first half and some of the Deodato ones. Moreso for nostalgia because a lot of 00's era Spider-Man scholastic books and other such books but also some of them are great poses.
And I think pic rel is a very underappreciated one with how plot-important it is to the mythos and for how the composition is good to me at least. Ditko's goblin cover with the bat glider's first appearance is also a great one. Webbing twisting like that and his dynamism for that time is great.
But Spectacular definitely in the 80's has the most kino covers out of all of them except maybe some sporadic ones in Amazing.

>>151167570
Ah my mistake 17 is the first appearance of the bat glider. And cover appearance of it as well. I meant 23. That one's better. 17's Johnny blocking the web is awkward looking.
I also like a lot of the Clone Saga covers and JRJR covers before BND. Especially Lost Years, 80's ASM, and Peter Parker issue 75.

>>151165606
The fact that you think this is a good cover is tragic.

>>151167655
ASM 23 is also one of my favorite covers. I like Peter's pose and how Norman is pulling the webs, and I can't believe that I forgot about ASM 136, it's awesome

>>151168329
HobGob makes good covers

I really wish I was reading comics during this era instead of being like three years old.

>>151168905
I hate Iron Spider

>>151168987
I thought the design was nice way back.

Then I started wondering why it only had three legs and how it lacked the blue.

>>151169041
It's just a rip of Doc Ock. I think I really hate how ACTION FIGURE baity Spider-man got.

>>151169936
Comic books aren't for you.

>>151163624
No, it's the exact opposite. Just fucking look at it:
It's a Spider-Man
WITH NO ASS
It's TERRIBLE

Ditko's covers were good
>>151171456
Gaaaay

By Gil Kane but still nice

Not the main artist but it seems like he penciled some characters

>>151171548
>proceeds to post a cover where Spidey's caked up
See. SEE.

>>151171854
Fag. However, it isn't visible in #100 because of his pose. Unlike >>151163889

>>151172305
>Fag
It's not gay to want characters to be represented properly
>However, it isn't visible in #100 because of his pose
Not an excuse. Spidey-Cheeks would be cresting still in a pose like that. The man is caked up, bubbled out, with an ass for days. That cover, on the other hand, is a travesty.

>>151172398
Second gayest post I've read today

>>151172825
Even better in-tandem with the opening page

>>151157910
The first run of What If were pretty good but not this one.
