For some reason, certain comic book covers really bother me and once they do, I have a hard time forgetting about them. This is the first one I remember really having a problem with. About 35 years later it was still bothering me so I changed it - not much but I think it makes a huge difference.
The original -
My version -
More consistent, more dramatic. Am I right?

Next. Best. Comic. Book. Cover. Ever.
Of all the "horror" comic books I read and loved as a kid, this is the one that both fascinated and scared the heck out of me the most. It still has some kind of weird hypnotic power over me when I see it.

Best. Comic. Book. Cover. Ever.
Without a doubt the best (or at least my favorite) long-term rivalry in comics is Hulk vs. Thing and this is the best of all their big battle covers. Can you get anymore iconic, any more "comic-book-y" than this? It's simple, it's to the point, it's two heavyweights getting ready to just beat the heck out of each other. Even the colors are perfect - the orange Thing, the green Hulk, the dramatic black background. Just great, great stuff. No distracting details, no silly marketing ploys, no "Part 13 of 32" to clutter it all up. Compare this to some of the goofy looking covers out there now days and try not to get too depressed. 'Nuff Said.
