Last modern cover I can think of that has panels....  Then again, its Moore telling O'Neill to recreate the old newspaper comics. |

Some multi-panel romance comics... Very nice. Thanks! |

In the 120 issue run of Groo at Marvel, two issues had sequential, panel narrative covers. My memory banks were under the impression that there were more...

Ish, I think Scott is annoyed by kiddie versions of pre-existing characters. I don't think he would be bothered by Sugar and Spike. (Did you ever see the one where they are talking to the baby lobster in the restaurant? (Because all babies speak the same language, even if they're lobsters!)) I couldn't stand Wonder Tot. And, as much as I do like 60s Action Comics, I avoid the one with that big, daft Super-Baby on the cover. Me want to play with toy plane my ass. |

Superbaby has to stop having his skin loosen any more teeth from any "kitties" he finds from now on, though.  |

That's an early 50s St. John book, so best guess is Matt Baker. |

All-American Men of War did a series of paneled covers in the early 60s when its format was "Battle Aces of Three Wars." Our Army at War did a few here and there as well.
The various Secret Origins series and Wanted almost always used panels on the covers.
Glad someone mentioned the DC annuals. To me, those covers were much more of a selling point than Marvel's 72-pagers, which after starting off with mini-covers and some panels, usually opted for the full-cover illustration with a few blurbs.

I agree with the sentiment here about Little Archie. I often like those stories more the main, grown up stories from the same digests.

If you're including Little Archie in that group you've definitely never read Little Archie. It was usually better written and frequently more adult than the main title. Oh, I have read it. I certainly respect Bob Bolling as a cartoonist. It's the basic concept that gives me hives. Just can't do it. I guess it's a pet peeve you have in the comic book genre. I loved those Superbaby stories. But I could never stand funny animal comics. Howard the Duck et al. Yuck. |
