Such a classic iconic cover, I love Tom Raney’s work!

Agreed, there’s some wild covers of Jimmy that fall into the theme of yesterday’s challenge. “Stalker/Peeping Tom/Super Fan”

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

Fair enough, it’s more elegant in this comic panel. Probably just a sign of the times, I think Gil might’ve wanted to accentuate his moustache.

I mean it is from the 70’s, so wouldn’t be surprised if Dracula was rocking a handle bar moustache 😂

Yeah I agree, the Archie ones are always fun, this and the Darkwing covers I like to throw into the mix, here and there.

I do like the Gil Kane covers, as well.
