Ten Days of Action Comics #9

And finally, here's the cover for the first American super-hero comic book to reach 900 issues the honest way, in stores today.


Only one thought comes to mind...welcome back Superman!

(psst...Hey Superman editors! Can we not have another two years go by without Superman in Action Comics? Please?)

While we're celebrating, we might as well take a look at the alternate covers too!


That's Alex Ross on the left and Adam Hughes on the right.

The Best Worst of 90's Cover Gimmicks Week, Day #6

As far as gimmicks go, our entry for today actually makes a lot of sense for comic books...the lenticular cover!

Superman Forever #1


What other gimmick captures the action and movement that are such a big part of the stories contained within them? In my opinion, none of the other ones can.

With the cover to Superman Forever #1, Alex Ross outdid himself with a multitude of painted images (six, maybe?) that show Clark Kent transforming into Superman and flying off.

I assure you that the actual cover is more impressive than my scanned copy, so check it out the next time you're wandering around the comic book store.

Oh, and if you have a spare $60,000 laying around, the original artwork for this cover can be yours!
