  • Hey I’m probably the only one here who was a fan of one of Marvel Comic’s weirdest heroes: Brother Voodoo! I’m not quite sure if this hero is even a thing today, I’m sure he’s considered a racial stereotype, but I’ve always viewed him as the black Doctor Strange & always thought he was a…

  • 40 years ago in January this amazing cover hit the stands, Judge Dredd #3 is a heavy hitter and features the always brilliant artwork of Brian “The Killing Joke” Bolland! This guy never disappoints and I’d say he’s EASILY crafted some of the sweetest covers of all time. Judge Death also is obviously such a…

  • Back in the day ‘Web of Spider-Man’ was one of my favorites of the webheads many titles at the time. Particularly because I found that this series had some of his best comic book covers and Of course I was a giant fan of the wildly controversial black Spider-man costume. Looking back at it it’s…

  • Comic cover of the week? More like ‘album cover’ of the decade! Here’s just another example of just how amazing of an artist Bill Sienkiewicz is once again. I’m blown away that rock bands weren’t knocking down his door to do their album cover artwork. Dazzler #27 (from 1983) surely does “dazzle”and if you take…

  • Moonstone’s one of my favorite female baddie’s and has been one of the coolest of  The Incredible Hulk’s rogue gallery since way in 1978, when she first appeared in this totally rad issue! This particular comic was one of my favorites as a kid-and the fact that she could go toe to toe with the Jade…

  • I was such a gigantic fan of The Thing as a kid (and still today) and would buy pretty much any comic book he appeared in if my mom would buy it for me! All of my time seeing him in the Fantastic Four had always made me wish he’d get his own solo book.…

  • Dale Keown has easily just GOT to be one of the greatest Hulk comic book artists of all time-and here’s more proof of that as I’m showcasing issue #375 all the way back from 1990. This is an awesome cover it’s straight to the point-we waited far too long to see The Hulk battle The…

  • Bill Sienkiewicz just NEVER disappoints (I dare you to try to prove me wrong!) and today here’s the real proof of that-especially if you’re a true fan of 1980s nostalgia. The character of ‘Dazzler’ alone is one of the ultimate superheroes of the era- that’s for sure. She’s always had such cool style & wild…

  • Here’s a sweet alternate Incredible Hulk cover from Brazil’s O Incrivel HULK #50-an interesting version of the American issue #297 shown below. I’m not quite sure why they redrew the cover? At least the top half appears to be a more “Sal Buscema” take on the green goliath? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen…

  • Here’s an awesome comic book cover from the 1970s, that every time I look at it makes me wish that Marvel would have released a 1980s film about this particular team of superheroes. Imagine this being released as an 80s horror/action film, with special FX work similar to the Monster Squad?! I’d be in heaven!…
