I'm kind of honored, and a little scared, that you thought of me when picking this cover (am I really that predictable?). And yes, this probably would have been the one I would have posted if you hadn't gotten to it first, but I was at my church cooking dinner for the kids' midweek gathering when the thread was started and had no idea what the theme was until after you'd put it up. I've started reading a lot of Bronze Age Marvel, so that's where my mind goes in these contests. The first cover I think of when I hear "falling" is Iron Man #118, and I think most Bronze Age Marvel fans would have a similar response. You're "the Bronze Age Marvel" guy in my mind. |

T'Challa kept falling off things during his Jungle Action days.  |

Bob Oksner did some good covers around this issue, though I like this one. #129 got a nice gals in peril cover. How do the interior artist compare? I'll have to research and see what other work Oksner might have done. |

The interior artist was Werner Roth, so the interior art is definitely not up to the standard of Bob Oksner's covers (IMO).

She gets points for not losing any of her 5 inch heels in the fall. |

Carmine Infantino and Steve Leialoha are coming to the party this week, and they're bringing some cheesecake...  Something about this cover is creepy. It looks like the guy is trying to commit suicide. |

So to kick things off, here is a classic Jack Kamen cover to illustrate the theme  Shes holding onto hers too. These gals laugh in the face of gravity. |

He was nice enough to chain spider-girl in an S and M pose before he did it.

He was nice enough to chain spider-girl in an S and M pose before he did it. A good number of the early Spider-Woman covers had her tied up. I know that #4, #6, and this one (#8) all did, just off the top of my head, which is pretty bad since she was the heroine of the story and supposedly a superhero. You can type "Spider-Woman bondage" into the search field on eBay and come up with at least one, if not all, of those issues at any given time. |
