I always loved the 5 covers to X-men # 1:

These f*ing covers always made me buy this series, even though I knew the story was "meh" and the interior art was just "ok"

Almost every single Dare Devil v2 cover and most of the covers from Punisher's MAX line. X-Men first class and Blade also have awsome covers.

Before there were computers, there was Jack Kirby. I think this is the best pic he ever did of his unique creation (also, in this issue, is the "sonic shark" incident, where Surfer lost almost all his cosmic power).

Something current artists could take into mind (seriously, i'm sure Surfer would appreciate having his manhood back stick out tongue )

Totally agree. I know a lot of people didn't and don't like that kind of thing, but I love Liefeld art for the most part, and that style in general. People like him and Jim Lee pretty much invented that gritty, over-the-top early 90's style. Liefeld just took it a little further. That's the style of art I grew up with, so that's always the 'epitome' of a comic character to me. Prolly always will be.


Anywho, I remember my godmother's son showing me this comic when I was like six. I loved it. It's the reason I got into bladed weapons in the first place, and great for '86:
