Hey y'all - what do you think are the best or most memorable comic story first pages? Here's three that come to mind for me:

Those are all great and this is a really good idea for a thread. I'll have to have a look at the remnants of my collection and see what I can find.

Another great one:

I’m on my cellphone so I can’t play, but I hope I remember on Monday. So many great splash pages, this is a toughie!

First one that came to mind

Oooo, that's great!

This is actually the second page of The Incal, but probably the most iconic page in the first volume.

Here's three good ones.

Those are the best!

Way to make a good guy look sinister there.

A lot of fans like it when the good guy looks sinister -- Batman, Spider-Man, Spawn, the Hulk, Ghost Rider, etc.

Tom Scioli has talked about this connection between the superhero and horror genres, how giving superheroes a slight horror flavor gives heroes a little edge (Dracula > Batman, Frankenstein > Hulk, etc.)

Yes, the classic Batman first page right above it is a great example of that (Neil Adams did a great scary Batman). I thought the sinister Triton image worthy of mention because the others you refer to have long made looking sinister their stock in trade. Triton, from what little I remember of him, not so much. It looks like Triton's being set up for a "misunderstood monster" situation there.

Yeah, he's wounded and looking for help from the Avengers, then creates a stir with the general public as he staggers through the streets until he's shot and seeks refuge in the sewers.
