Favorite Comic Book Covers!

Check out Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.E.I.L.D. #4! This brilliant collage was rendered by Jim Steranko. While Steranko's work showed the privilege of having grown up in the Jack Kirby era, he was also amping things up on his own. His compositions were cinematic and fantastic. And after a really brief career, he went on to other work, including putting out his own movie mag back and writing a great two part history of the comics in the `70's. He remains one of my all time favorites, and you'll see more of his covers as we keep this feature going.
