A funky TEEN TITANS cover by Nick Cardy that evidences the influence of psychedelic posters and prints of the era on comic book cover imagery. The Teen Titans logo is re-lettered for this issue so as to better fit in with the tone of this piece.
A very simple Mike Zeck cover for MASTER OF KUNG FU, relying on the character’s intensity of expression to ensnare prospective readers.
A pretty brilliant Jack Kirby cover to FANTASTIC FOUR. Rather than simply showing Galactus on this first appearance cover, Kirby instead chooses to focus on the reactions of the public, the FF, and most ominously, the Watch. Galactus himself isn’t seen until the final page of this issue.
A fun Neal Adams BATMAN cover for the book’s 200th issue, highlighting previous milestones from its history (and even using the logo from one of them as the title logo to this issue.)

Well, this isn’t going to end well for Mr. Tawny. A fun and intriguing CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES cover by C.C. Beck, from an era in which it wasn’t so much action or violence that sold comics as much as confounding imagery and fanciful ideas.
