Might not be his best, but this is my favorite Kirby cover.  , I'm with you here. A superb Jack Kirby cover. Shameless plug: I wrote about that comic and the day I bought it a while ago in the Comic Lover's Memories thread, where I said, "There before me was Sgt. Fury 16! I had no idea who this Sgt. Fury and his Howlers were, but I was immediately entranced. Like the serpent, that comic whispered to me. The startling mix of muted orange and blazing yellow that made me feel the desert heat, even on a cold winter’s day. The faces on those commandos that bespoke agony, pain, defeat. Who were these ragged, demoralized Howlers? What hell had they endured? What pain had they suffered? And how dare those lousy Nazis sneer and jeer at them from the safety of their desert stronghold? (Straight out of “Captain Gallant and the Foreign Legion”… another crucial selling point to a 10-year-old lover of TV adventure shows.) The story title was the final hiss of the serpent’s tongue. 'In the Desert A Fortress Stands!'* Wow! Just wow! No story title I’d ever read had evinced such power, such grandeur, such Biblical syntax! It was done. I had to have this comic! There in Maxie’s, I was seduced by evil. (It would not be the last time.)" * Inside, the title is reversed to “A Fortress in the Desert Stands.” Not nearly as epic."

I'm tired of hitting the damn "Like" button.
Please consider this post a ringing endorsement of every cover posted here. What a gallery of greatness!

Many great covers here but also many that leave me scratching my head! But I shouldn't criticise too much since I'm one of those people who can't make up their mind long enough to choose a best cover by any of my favourite artists. For example, with Neal Adams, I think I'd lean towards the cover work he did for House of Mystery and things like that but I can't narrow it down much farther, so there are still too many to choose from.
I'd like to see that Howlers cover with a different colouring scheme - something to bring out a little contrast between the foreground characters and the background.

I tried to show the Adams cover for House of Mystery with the giant hawk crashing through the window, but I couldn't get the JPEG to save to imgur for some reason. |
