Top 50 Comic Book Covers Ranked - Marvel DC Entertaining Image

[@jakeproven256]

Marshal Rogers is special, he was a great artist on Batman during the mid and late 70's.

[@stephenmitchell9520]

I really enjoyed his stuff, still have a Marshall drawn silver surfer t shirt from mid 90s! 😁👍

[@jakeproven256]

@@stephenmitchell9520 cool!

[@bradcsuka5054]

Yeah, I really gave a "say what?!?" when he said that Rogers wasn't special.

[@marldanford2585]

Thank you for your heroic effort. You will NEVER please everyone. I enjoyed your list which brought new covers to my attention. I once owned a complete Silver Age Marvel collection up to 1982 which I sold to become a art dealer (my specialty illustrative art 1898~ 1950). I find myself buying replacement books today based on great cover artwork, and that is my opinion only. What is never discussed on UTube podcasts is the incredible prices paid for original Comic Book artwork. I have used my experience in vintage posters along with WW1 and WW2 Posters to guide my selections.

[@murphcallahan5892]

I remember the House of Mystery cover you profiled. I agree, all those horror covers were fantastically good.

Jim Steranko Nick Fury Agent of Shield issue 1

“Marshall Rogers isn’t anyone special as an artist.” Art can be very subjective, but Rogers is a pretty special artist. That Mcfarlane Batman cover probably wouldn’t exist if not for Rogers.

[@Amonny]

For me, Norm Breyfogle's covers for Batman/Detective Comics etc... are the absolute best.

[@RayfieldA]

I was gonna fuss at you for overlooking Dave Stevens, Rocketeer comics but I see this video was to focus on Marvel and DC comics. Your #1 cover pic by Frazetta, reminded me of Stevens. But John Buscema and John Byrne were my absolute favorite when I was a kid. It's because of them that I grew up to draw in animation for a living.

First time here. Just subscribed.

[@foxcellars]

Thanks for taking the time to check it out. More to come.

[@charlesporter641]

Great list, great taste. Appreciate the Mike Zeck love!

[@GymMotivatorforyou]

This is your only comic video? This was soo enjoyable to watch, can you do more like this like best comic books/most undervalued/best modern/best dc covers stuff like that

[@pellganesh3681]

A great collection of covers. The Wally Wood covers are absolutely gorgeous and I didn't realize Frank Frazetta ever did comics. Some of my favorite covers, and artwork in general, were by Barry Windsor Smith (his Machine Man cover was awesome), Jim Starlin (his Warlock was cosmically beautiful), Jim Steranko (his splash pages in Agents of Shield were ground breaking), and so many more.

[@beaubzdafka7451]

I was hoping to see something by Steranko with Nick Fury on it

[@foxcellars]

One of those could very well have made it. I'll be seeing covers from now til the end of time where I wish I put them on here. It's a Top 50 list for that week in all fairness.

[@kevindeiter8410]

I personally find it extremely difficult to make a top fifty list of individual comic covers (Batman, Spider-Man, Superman etc) let alone a list of all comics ever!! More power to you.

[@jakeproven256]

Wrong, Gene Colan had countless amazing covers, I mean look at his Batman covers and Daredevil covers and you'll see what a good artist he was!

[@stephenmitchell9520]

Tomb of Dracula...

[@thecomicsamurai]

Great video! I liked a lot of your choices. Captain America Annual 8 was my #1 when I made my top ten video. Rock and roll!!!

[@brianbasham3517]

Out of the comics that I own two of my favorites are: Wolverine 82 by Adam Kubert X Factor 108 by Stephen Epting I'm fortunate enough to own a couple of the ones on your list here.

[@r0kus]

great looking list. Three I would have been sure to include are: 1) House of Secrets #123, by Frank Robbins -- this may not be the best cover of all time, but for me it has had me creeped out since I first saw it as a pre-teen. 2) Nick Fury, Agent of Shield #7, by Jim Steranko -- sure it was inspired by Salvaor Dali, but damn, it's good. 3) any number of Paul Gulacy covers on Shang Chi, Master of King Fu. Starlin's were also very good, but Gulacy took the ball and ran with it to parts beautiful and unknown.

[@carter358]

Web of Spiderman #1 needs to be in the top 10.

[@GouacheArtist]

I could only agree with 13 out of these top 50 and only 5,3,2, and 1 out of the top 10. There were some better cover art behind you on that wall like Dr Strange #1 by Frank Brunner or the Luke Cage by Romita and Tuska as well as The Kirby FF covers #45 and 48 (although there are even better Kirby covers to choose from). I'm amazed that there are no Gil Kane covers that made it to a top 50 list (especially his Conan covers). My personal picks to wind up somewhere in the top 20 if not 10 would've been Avengers #57 and 78, both by John Buscema. I think #1 was a can't miss, hard to top that Frazetta cover.

[@JonsDDVlog]

I love Frank too. Good choices. Some were pretty surprising. Thanks. I was always a big fan of an early hulk issue where he was about to fight the Rhino. I can't remember the number right now.

[@foxcellars]

I think it's 104 or 105. Around there.

[@foxcellars]

It's 104. Just checked.

[@BionicThiago123]

Great selection, but I think this list needs a little more Kirby 😂. FF48 is top 3 for me.

[@walsingham-xxiii]

What an interesting list. FF#12 for me.

[@VikingJoe879]

Cool video 🎉

[@jakeproven256]

All select comics isn't the first superhero team up in comics, the heroes on the cover don't even apear together in the issue they are in seperate stories, if you mean by cover it's not by that either, in 1941 the anthology series worlds finest was released, and all the covers of that series have Superman and Batman together.

[@comicbookninja5268]

All great picks!

[@shepherdsknoll]

I love Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko “Monster “ covers.

[@llongone2]

Entry #36 is my favorite comic book cover of all time: it captures so much, and Mephisto looks so diabolical.

[@foxcellars]

Buscema covers should be it's on Top 100 video.

[@gregk9710]

I don't know how you miss: Hulk #340, X-men #50, X-men #101, and Hulk Special Annual #1

[@foxcellars]

The list of fantastic covers I missed far exceeds 50, to be certain.

[@kahnlives]

Sorry, not feeling the love for X Men 141, but the rest of the list is pretty solid!

[@lobodesade6780]

What about Rob Liefeld's immaculate work on Youngblood issue one, it certainly is a footnote in history.

[@km992106]

Hulk 340 is a classic cover…

[@PaulSaether]

The Silver Surfer covers 3 and 4 were outstanding but the cover to #1 was pretty stiff and doesn't do justice to the interior pages IMO. Look at the FF72 cover you featured, though. That has no FF characters but it has the Surfer and the Watcher featured prominently...could that FF cover have originally been intended for the cover of Surfer #1? Dates are about right too.

[@PaulSaether]

In case anyone missed the point about the Watcher (but not the FF) featuring on the FF72 cover...The Watcher was the Back up feature in SS #1.

[@studlord9970]

Of all the great Avengers covers there are, the only one on your list is #8?That's not even in the top ten of Avengers covers! (Top 5 Avengers covers in my opinion are, 57, 4, 12, 196, and 250)

[@thxlopez]

Batman 423 asm 252 gijoe 21 needed to be in list and the famous ec cover where ax women head don't know issue should be in list too

[@Rorschachqp]

House of Secrets 92 and not enough covers for the most influential cover artist Steranko.

[@foxcellars]

In a top 100 I am certain he would have popped up way more.

[@enormicon]

I came here looking for Silver Surfer Volume 4, #1, aka Parable by Moebius..😭

[@foxcellars]

I should do just a Silver Surfer issue list.

[@MISTAWULFY]

I have a handful of these, nice

[@l.greenemachine66]

Not anything I'm really in to but very cool covers. 😊

[@edcrayzys3853]

House of Mystery #290, all star western #8, teen titans #20, our fighting forces #108, swamp thing #15, supernatural thrillers #8, chamber of chills #8, real life comics #19, usa comics #2, usa comics #5, monster #1, web of mystery #17, house of secrets #17, tales from the tube, exciting comics #4, mandrake the magician #4, and Bomba the jungle boy #1

[@TekkenPlayer-z7j]

This is childish. But I am actually offended that ASM 33 isn't there.

[@Zenmaster1]

Neal Adams eats everyone's lunch....

[@Whalewraith]

I so wish X-men #137 was a virgin cover. Its a total classic but there's so much crap on the trade dress, Byrnes art is what? 50% of the cover.

[@drmidnight680-kz2le]

Wrong,wrong,wrong. The top 10 must be all Gene Colan, specially his black light poster covers.

[@comicbooknarcissist]

I like the material, but find it strange how you don't introduce any comic book content and then do a top 50 detailed commentary out of nowhere with no context or intro to you and the hobby. Am I missing something here? Lol, good video effects. My edit suggests putting a description of the channel in the About section.

[@foxcellars]

I have ADHD. Comics, movies, travel and hockey would be my page, but that's all over the place. I plan to do more comic stuff, but just getting started.

[@patfrat666]

What is your definition of "Artistic Aesthetic?"

[@foxcellars]

Art is subjective, so we all certainly have our own personal definition aside from the standard beauty of the art form. Mine follows the rules of well crafted composition, tight control of the viewer's eye, thoughtful color selection, dramatic shots and perspective, and of course a demonstration of superior artistic skills.

[@Hypersonicmind]

FF #73

[@foxcellars]

FF has so many to choose from. I have a real nice copy of that issue in high grade. Great undated book.

[@Hypersonicmind]

@@foxcellars It's really cool to see Kirby draw all those characters- the contrast between Ben and Thor is tremendous

Aquaman #42. I dont even like aquaman

[@johnedwards2051]

what no wsf 29

[@foxcellars]

WSF books are gorgeous. I wasn't sure if they were magazine size or not, but feel like I got enough of the quintessential Frazetta i9n there to get that point across.
