It looks like we have 10 so far (not discounting Garett's suggestions - but I like those for a separate post).<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-67295588101470074592016-02-18T14:53:20.212-06:002016-02-18T14:53:20.212-06:00Oh, and who could forget ASM #122?

I bid thee... Do it!<br /><br />I'm also thinking it's about time for Martinex to shoot us another $1 challenge, maybe with the covers where a hero holds a fallen comrade?<br /><br />Another idea I saw when seeking covers was a character pressing another character overhead -- lots of examples like that.<br /><br />So seriously -- whether it's a $1 challenge or something that just has several exhibits like today's post, we're open to running anything like that. We love discussing comics covers.<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-74470723686297426872016-02-18T08:41:13.858-06:002016-02-18T08:41:13.858-06:00I've been reading Deadman by Neal Adams, and h...I've been reading Deadman by Neal Adams, and here's a striking cover, Strange Adventures 214: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o7wae3U-zbg/Tl4-NfmGhDI/AAAAAAAALb8/vG_WqeODoXE/s1600/Strange-Adventures-214.jpg<br />It's multiple images of a character on a cover.
