Let's have some fun. I wanted to focus more on covers that we don't see as often, instead of the iconic covers we've seen a million times like Fantastic Four #1, Showcase #4, Amazing Fantasy #15, etc.

This first batch is all Silver Age (first one's for you, Simon) --

Yeah, those covers really are some of my favorite things about comics. My "bread & butter" for reading comics is Jack Kirby and Weisinger Superman. I love a lot more than just those, but I see those two things as the nucleus.

This is great (thank you!). I don't think I've seen it before. I've never read much Doom Patrol, but anything with an ape henchman in it has to be good.

I don't know if this is well-known, but it's funny and fits with this thread.

Oh, it's more than just an ape henchman -- it's an ape henchman with a machine gun and a Rambo-style ammo belt taking orders from a computer brain.

IT'S WHAT AMERICA WAS BUILT ON
