Great Cover Art

I attended a Sci-Fi/comic show at SUNY Stonybrook in the mid-80s. (called ICON)
They gave out this Moonshadow #2, a Sword of the Swashbucklers comic, and another comic that escapes me (Timespirits maybe?); just for attending the show.

I can remember thinking at that time, “hey, I can sell these for money maybe”. Flash forward 40 years and I still have this comic as well as Sword of the Swashbucklers.

Art by Jon J. Muth, Bolton, Kaluta, etc… changes my entire perspective now. It was a big nothing burger in the mid-80’s, and even though it’s not worth much now, the work and artistry in this cover and the comic itself is extraordinary.

Nothing digital either. All hand drawn and painted/colored.

Jeff Dekal is really becoming one of my favourite cover artists, first that Absolute Wonder Woman cover and then this Power Girl #15

I’m an Avengers West Coast fan. I have 99% of vols 1-3. But damn if this new vol 4 doesn’t have fantastic covers. Issue 1 is great, but 3 is even better:
