What I think may be Jack Kirby’s best cover:  Interesting choice. Not the usual cover anyone usually selects as Kirby's best. Yeah, I suppose I’m one to pick the lesser-mentioned gems. I consider the fantasy and sci-fi genres to lend themselves pretty well to creative and interesting imagery, and using imagery such as rainbows, planets, and space settings tends to win me over. That might be why Ed Hannigan’s art for the previously mentioned Thor #322 is a favorite of mine.  |

^^ "Channeling" Gil Kane in Thor's right leg (and a couple of other spots, IMHO)

For me Kubert is the possibly the easiest to pick a favorite cover.  |

Favorite one of his would have to be Weird War Tales #78:  |

Steve Bissette That's downright gorgeous work. Bissete's Tyrant and Ricardo Delgado's Age of Reptiles were some of the first most pleasant departures from superheros I saw in comics when I first started getting into them.  |

Joe Kubert: I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of issues of Weird War I bought (as opposed to the ones I got at yard sales) but that was one of them. I have no doubt it was down to that cover. |

GCD credits Thor #332's cover to Ed Hannigan and Al Milgrom, but could Bob Layton have had a hand in either the pencilling or the inking? |

That Frank Miller X-Men King Size cover has a very Gil Kane feel. I wonder if Frank was channeling Gil, or maybe Gil did a prelim sketch Frank used?
