I am sorry, but I don’t agree with the title. Maybe saying this is a video of some of the most iconic cover would have been better. I just feel that more modern artists have created better covers. Also, how can you give all credit for New Mutants #87 to Liefeld? McFarlane did work on it, as well. I mean, his name is on the cover.

Hi there! What is considered a “best” cover is very subjective. I chose these particular covers because they are known in the comic book community as being classic. Whether one likes the cover or not is a different story, but many would agree that these books became iconic not only because they are some sort of key issue, but also because they have a cover that many collectors admire. The line between iconic and best can be a very fine one. Thanks for commenting!

Most of the covers were terrible. Iconic does not equate best.

You can pick it up online for around 5 bucks. I got it at a local comic Con as part of a deal bundle of 10 for $5. I recently found out this issue is the first unofficial appearance of the Secret Defenders

Wow a best comics covers video, with nothing by Brian Bolland, Dave Stevens or Adam Hughes, and not a single Sensation Comics cover or even a Wonder Woman cover from the 40's. Come to think of it I didn't see any Carl Barks covers on the list either and there was no Joe Kubert covers either and one of my personal favorite covers of the 70's was Tarzan #207 (first DC Comics issue). There are a ton of funny book covers from the 40's through 60's that saw no representation either (and I don't mean Uncle Scrooge as all of his best were done by Carl Barks. So I get that these are what you consider to be the best, but I'm just afraid that we will have to disagree on what constitutes best. The main purpose of my reply even after such a long time since you posted the list was to get you to look in to some of these other artists and covers, even if it's only by perusing some on the web. Dell/Gold Key, Charlton, ACG, Fawcett, Archie and Harvey all have at least a few covers that are worth a mention. Don't get me wrong, some of the covers you mentioned are some of my all time favorites as well. But many of them I passed up when they were released as ok, but not worth picking up based on the cover art. Just my 2 cents worth, and now that pennies are no longer made of copper you can take that for a whole lot less if you like. I do like your channel btw, and plan to hit that sub button right after I post this.

I'll go with that as I haven't heard any interviews with him on film nor do I remember him correcting anybody. I always liked his artwork but that's about it.

Batman: Son of the Demon, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #4, Batman New 52 #4, The Flash New 52 #12, and Green Arrow #58 (2001). Those are some great covers in my opinion.

Agreed! I have some of those. Thanks for the suggestions!

My personal best is for MTMTE #17.

Agreed! Excellent suggestions my friend! My favourite of the ones you listed is X-Men 251. Love that cover! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Um...that alpha flight issue was not a Rob Liefeld creation. It was Mark Pacella I believe.

Yup! I noticed that afterwards and someone pointed it out to me. I think I might have made mention 9f the error in the description too but I can’t remember lol thanks for the info!

No Superman #1? That's a pretty iconic cover. Anyway, I came for Showcase #4 and I got it. So I'm not too disappointed. That said, some of these are fine covers on significant books, as opposed to great covers in their own right.

Very true! I should have explained more clearly in the video that I was going more for cultural significance and iconism rather than art style. Yes I forgot Superman 1 but I’m glad you got the showcase 4 you were looking for lol thanks for tuning in and commenting. As always great comment. Pleasure to hear from you again!
