I'll now buy a classic or back issue just for the cover expecting the story to be weak. If it's not, that's a bonus.
In the 90's when everyone was putting out fancy covers, I learned fast to at least skim the contents. Most of the early 90's Marvels contents were pretty bad IMO.

I think I told this tale a long time ago. I remember back when I was 16 or 17, I was in a convenience store that had a small comic section at the back. At the time, I was just branching off from Marvel and getting into other stuff (up until then, I was purely ASM, Spec Spidey, MTU, etc.). It was here I found this, the first comic I ever truly bought just because of the cover. Ever since, I have been drawn to great artwork and for me, this is more important than the story. Artwork can make up for a poor story in my eyes. It is hard for a really great story to push through poor artwork though. Luckily, this one was strong on both accounts.  |

Love & Rockets #1, which remains one of my favorite comics (and favorite comic covers) ever.

Two instances come immediately to mind, both spurred by the in-house ads that DC ran promoting these issues.   |

From quarter boxes and yard sales and other cheap back-issue venues, sure. I'd never spend new comic prices on a book based on cover alone (though I did on Cowboy/Ninja/Viking new based on title alone).
