What are the greatest comic book covers of all time, in your opinion?

#1

I nominate Wizard Magazine's Witchblade Ace Edition drawn by Michael Turner. Everything about this cover is great. The detail, the colors, the style, the way the hand is positioned, etc. These had a clear, acetate cover as well. I have the edition which was signed with gold ink by Turner.

#2

Uncanny X-Men #325. A four-page foldout drawn by artist Joe Madureira and inked by Tim Townsend. I always liked Madureira's style (others did too, that's why he was popular at the time). Love the battle stances of the characters, and having a blank white background gives the scene a good contrast and makes things stand out; you would normally expect something else in the background.

Local store gave me a package deal and military discount on that book so I got it for much less.

I love that image, it's a re-imaging of a very early detective comics cover. Not sure which of the two I like better. Can anyone do a side by side.

Mmm sexy batman covers. I'd like to own the one on the right at some point. The one on the left just isn't going to happen. As for between the two, think I like the Adams rendition better. They do look great paired up like that though.
