Picked these up for a few bucks each. Really like the gags on the covers

In honor of the Knightfall trailer dropping, here is a recent pick-up of mine. My favorite cover with Jean-Paul Valley. Batman #501. I don’t think his suit has ever looked better than it does here. Cover art by Kelley Jones.

This photo doesn’t do the cover justice, it was hard not to get some kind of glare.

I like the street-level action on the cover of Daredevil #47 (I wish the title font had stayed this for longer), and the classic Steranko Nick Fury cover referencing Salvador Dali

To honor today’s release of Absolute Catwoman #1, here’s my signed variant of her first cover appearance with the visual inspiration for the artwork, Ghost in the Shell #1 (this is the American reprint of the manga). I really love the cyberpunk influence on this version of Catwoman, down to the ability to turn her suit invisible. So excited to see more of her.

First two are classic Carmine Infantino covers (first race between Flash and Superman — I’m looking for the other issues from this time that depict it) and the Wonder Woman cover is penciled by Ross Andru. I like how clearly we see her costume as well as the face detail in the poster. Such a classic design. I love collecting from this era!

The stories themselves are average but what makes these issues special to me are how dynamic and cool the covers are. I always love when the title is implemented into the artwork and that hasn’t been done better (imo) than in these issues, particularly The Flash issue.

I really can’t put into words how much of an impact this run has had on my life. Not only is it a great series, but I started reading comics/graphic novels again (from all eras and characters), as well as sparked an interest in collecting comics (currently working on developing a decent silver-age collection. This hobby has really contributed to my mental health and helped me through some tough life phases as well. So excited to continue reading and collecting these issues and becoming more involved in comics in general.

Beware The Creeper (cover and interior art by Steve Ditko) reminds me of Jack Kirby’s cover for Demon #1. I really like the motion and contrast going on. Shame this series only lasted 6 issues. Can’t go wrong with Dennis O’Neil. The second I saw this, I knew I needed it in my collection. Likewise for Brave and the Bold - definitely my favorite Hawkman cover since the Golden Age. The action is dynamic and I really like the lighting. This one is by Joe Kubert.

Appears to be a retirement community behind the resort? Took this photo on Double Peak

I always like seeing him appear in later eras like in this Silver Age issue and this modern cover.

Avengers #23 and X-Men #35
