Oh man.
This is how bad it is, on Skins's island today.
franksolich, desperate for bonfires of interest, actually goes into the comics forum.

Marvel's Top 70 Covers Ever!

I dunno; maybe those who appreciate comics book art can judge, as I suspect the forked primitive knows as much about the subject as he knows about sports.

1. How the heck did they pick them? By tween-vote? About a third are from the last four years.
Although he wasn't always my favorite, Bill Sienkiewicz should have been represented IMO, if only because his style was such a daring departure from Marvel's conventional imagery.
And I'm really surprised that The Death of Captain Marvel didn't make the cut, for its controversial imagery alone:

It also occurs to me that the exact same book, if released today, would probably cost $29.95 and would be released with fifteen variant covers...

2. What a joke!
I don't think I would pick more than 5 of these.
I think #49 should be much higher.

5. That was a fun comic, but so far from John Buscema's best.
This one for instance;

3. Yeah, a lot of weird choices there
but then, a lot of covers from the 60s-80s were pretty unremarkable, whereas in the last 20 years I think there has been a trend to produce more fully painted, artistic covers.
But there should have been more Ross and Cassaday covers for sure!
Okay, comics books aren't franksolich's thing, and so I really don't know.
But those here who know, do the primitives have any sophistication and taste in the genre?
