Inspired by Linda's thread, what are some of your favorite corner boxes?

This is one of my favorites.

Really, just about any title with the "Marvel Pop Art Productions" branding. That's my all-time favourite corner box design and comic publisher name.

I've always been partial to Byrne's floating heads... though my fave corner box is the FF team shot up-thread.

Leading into Hulk 300, they spent something like a year, making Hulk more and more savage in the corner boxes. Cool idea.

The Vision phasing through the Avengers logo was always cool:

What makes you like that so much? It seems like it comes from being embarrassed about being "comic books"?

I like the little logo, though.

I think I read somewhere (probably here) that Steve Ditko came up with the corner box idea... is that accurate?

It comes from being enamoured with the pop art and music culture of that era, which is what the comic book field should have proudly associated itself with.

I never realized the corner boxes were pretty much a Marvel thing. I assumed DC had them, too.

I once animated that for a avatar here, but the file is on my work computer.

I like the Amazing Spider-man one from when I started reading -- it was an unusual pose that pops out.
