Hmm....I'd go with Amazing Spider-Man #14. This is what hooked me. I have a beat up copy of this issue but would like to get one in better condition some day.

I think it's because George was still channeling some 70s fashion in the Titans comic. I am a HUGE Perez fan, and a HUGE fan of NTT, but if you look at the Titan's street clothes in that series, they look a little...funky for the early 80s.
That is a GREAT cover.

^ Cool cover, Art!

Hey, how come we all refer to that costume as "Disco Nightwing" when disco was long dead by the time that costume debuted...? Just a thought.Leave a comment:

That's a great question. Kinda subjective, though. I would have to say that Probably the greatest covers are the classic ones, Action Comics #1, Detective Comics #27 & #38, All-Star Comics #3, Flash #1, Fantastic Four #1, Uncanny X-Men #1
My personal favorites are the ones by George Perez, Alex Ross Jim Aparo and Neal Adams. The covers that George Perez did for The Avengers, Justice League and New Teen Titans were awesome.
Alex Ross has done some great stuff for Marvels and Kingdom Come. I think the cover he did for Kingdom Come #4 is awesome. His oversized comics are great, and so are the Justice covers.
Neal Adams and Jim Aparo are probably the definitive Batman cover artists. Maybe Neal Adams' cover of Batman watching as Robin is shot with Ra's Al Ghul in the background...
I can't seem to figure out how to post the ones I want to show, but I picked The Batman Adventures #7 (Killer Croc has Batman in a headlock), #9 (Batman is on the roof of a car driven by a couple of thugs, one is shooting through the roof), and #10 (Batman has knocked out one of The Riddler's thugs and is creeping up on The Riddler himself from the shadows) The late Mike Parobeck was a heckuvan artist. The Batman Adventures #10 is one of my favorites because it's the first appearance of The Perfesser, Mr. Nice and Mastermind.Leave a comment:

Yeah, that's a good one! I really enjoyed Breyfogle's long Batman run.

JLA #200, the single greatest comic of ALL TIME!!!
I was about to post that one too.
Here's one I love
It was so good they're apeing it in the new TT:Year One mini:
Oh and this one. It looks like it belongs during the creepy 70s cover phase. It's a decade early! There must be something I like about Robin and tombstones...

Detective Comics #606 .. Drawn by Breyfogle... It's a 4 part story staring the Mud Pack,.. which features the 4 different ClayFaces at the time.

As a HUGE Justice Society fan I want to say All-Star comics 3 but in the end I agree w toyroom. without action 1 there probably wouldn't be a superhero comic genre. You can argue about art style and writing of the era you prefer over the golden age but Superman was the first and the archtype for everyone else in tights after themLeave a comment:

I can only imagine the excitement in seeing this on the stand for the first time....
