They were released and distributed as an insert in Sunday newspapers, the first page was the cover for those inserts, so yes. -M Exactly, it's not a comic book cover, it's the first page of an insert. Most Spirit stories started out by a splash page. |

“For those of you new to The Spirit, he premiered in the publishing field with no advance publicity in the newspaper trade, on June 2, 1940 as part of a special free Comic Book Section (commonly known as The Spirit Section) insert of Sunday newspapers across North America.” -- thecomicsdetective.blogspot.com/2013/04/thats-spirit.html“After a few weeks, Eisner tried a single-page opening that served several functions. First and foremost, it acted as a cover for The Weekly Comic Book, giving the insert the feeling of a magazine independent of the other sections of the newspaper.” Michael Schumacher, Will Eisner A Dreamer’s Life in Comics, p. 78 [Eisner’s] high point was The Spirit, a comic book section created as a Sunday supplement for newspapers.” Jules Feiffer, The Great Comic Book Heroes, p. 35 (BF mine) |

Exactly : "acted as" & "giving the felling". Therefore it just isn't a comic book cover, it just asts as and gives the feeling... But seriously, I really don't care, if you guys want to go for it, it'll just give us more options for future contests  CCF's benghazi's hearing are open, hahaha! |

To act means to perform a specific function, e.g. "The cover of Secret Six #1 also acted as the splash page."  And if you don't care, then please save the semantics for something you do care about. |

Semantics are awesome, usefull and fun, and I care about them  Thank you for the instructions though, even if I still disagree that the splash page was a comic book cover. AI agree it might have acted as a cover, but so did many record covers acting as comic book covers then.  Snap... I just became an old curmudgeon, hehe |
