Powerful Ragman #1 cover by Joe Kubert (DC 1976). When you look at this cover, you immediately think that something special awaits inside. You are rewarded greatly once you read this landmark 1st issue. Exceptionally well-written, human storyline grounded in urgent urban drama. A Kubert masterwork!

Mystic Comics #7 featuring The Mighty Destroyer by Jack Kirby & Joe Simon (Timely 1941). This is a personal favourite Golden-Age cover of mine, no one captures and delivers sheer insane action quite like the team of S&K. Who in the world could just walk on by after seeing this cover on a newsstand?

Dramatic original art by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone for Tales of Suspense #59 featuring Captain America (Marvel 1964). I personally love this piece and true story, Captain America's wild combat acrobatics influenced me into taking gymnastics as a youth. Included the coloured work as a vivid contrast.

1st Issue Special #7 The Creeper (DC 1975). This issue attempted a revival of this exciting character after the 1968 series ended. It was this very issue that introduced the wild and unique Creeper to me and I became a fan instantly. Ditko masterwork in full display.

Made an earlier post of original art from an unpublished Claw the Unconquered, and it compelled me to post up that first magnificent intro cover by Ernie Chau for Claw the Unconquered #1 (DC 1975). What a thrilling, well-written, memorable character and story-line!
