Top 50 Marvel Covers from the Marvel Age
CBR.com recently posted the results of a poll of fans to determine the Top 50 Most Memorable Comic Covers of the Marvel Age. Congratulations to my buddies, Mike Zeck and John Beatty for placing three covers in the top 50.
Using just the covers from the poll here is my top ten:
- 10. Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars #1 (Art by Mike Zeck and John Beatty)
- 9. Amazing Spider-Man #33 (Art by Steve Ditko)
- 8. Daredevil #181 (Art by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson)
- 7. Amazing Spider-Man #39 (Art by John Romita)
- 6. Wolverine (mini-series) #1 (Art by Frank Miller and Joe Rubinstein)
- 5. Captain America Annual #8 (Art by Mike Zeck and John Beatty)
- 4. The Incredible Hulk Special #1 (Art by Jim Steranko with a little help from Marie Severin)
- 3. Silver Surfer #4 (Art by John Buscema and perhaps Sal Buscema)
- 2. Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #4 (Art by Jim Steranko)
- 1. Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1 (Art by Jim Steranko)
While I don’t think that anyone would argue that they weren’t great covers selected but what about…
- Paul Gulacy’s Master of Kung Fu # 64
- Paul Gulacy’s Rawhide Kid # 147
- Paul Gulacy’s Peter Parker # 8
- John Byrne and Terry Austin’s X-Men # 133
- Frank Miller and Joe Rubinstein’s Wolverine # 4 [Mini-series]
- Mike Zeck and Gene Day’s Master of Kung Fu # 80
- Mike Zeck and Gee Day’s Master of Kung Fu # 83
Those covers just came to me quickly as I was putting together this post. What other classic Marvel Age covers did we miss?
