    Marshal Rogers is special, he was a great artist on Batman during the mid and late 70's.

    “Marshall Rogers isn’t anyone special as an artist.”
    Art can be very subjective, but Rogers is a pretty special artist. That Mcfarlane Batman cover probably wouldn’t exist if not for Rogers.

    I was gonna fuss at you for overlooking Dave Stevens, Rocketeer comics but I see this video was to focus on Marvel and DC comics. Your #1 cover pic by Frazetta, reminded me of Stevens. But John Buscema and John Byrne were my absolute favorite when I was a kid. It's because of them that I grew up to draw in animation for a living.

    Thank you for your heroic effort. You will NEVER please everyone. I enjoyed your list which brought new covers to my attention. I once owned a complete Silver Age Marvel collection up to 1982 which I sold to become a art dealer (my specialty illustrative art 1898~ 1950). I find myself buying replacement books today based on great cover artwork, and that is my opinion only. What is never discussed on UTube podcasts is the incredible prices paid for original Comic Book artwork. I have used my experience in vintage posters along with WW1 and WW2 Posters to guide my selections.

    A great collection of covers. The Wally Wood covers are absolutely gorgeous and I didn't realize Frank Frazetta ever did comics. Some of my favorite covers, and artwork in general, were by Barry Windsor Smith (his Machine Man cover was awesome), Jim Starlin (his Warlock was cosmically beautiful), Jim Steranko (his splash pages in Agents of Shield were ground breaking), and so many more.

    great looking list. Three I would have been sure to include are:
    1) House of Secrets #123, by Frank Robbins -- this may not be the best cover of all time, but for me it has had me creeped out since I first saw it as a pre-teen.
    2) Nick Fury, Agent of Shield #7, by Jim Steranko -- sure it was inspired by Salvaor Dali, but damn, it's good.
    3) any number of Paul Gulacy covers on Shang Chi, Master of King Fu. Starlin's were also very good, but Gulacy took the ball and ran with it to parts beautiful and unknown.

    All select comics isn't the first superhero team up in comics, the heroes on the cover don't even apear together in the issue they are in seperate stories, if you mean by cover it's not by that either, in 1941 the anthology series worlds finest was released, and all the covers of that series have Superman and Batman together.

    @GouacheArtist Рік тому +1

    I could only agree with 13 out of these top 50 and only 5,3,2, and 1 out of the top 10. There were some better cover art behind you on that wall like Dr Strange #1 by Frank Brunner or the Luke Cage by Romita and Tuska as well as The Kirby FF covers #45 and 48 (although there are even better Kirby covers to choose from). I'm amazed that there are no Gil Kane covers that made it to a top 50 list (especially his Conan covers). My personal picks to wind up somewhere in the top 20 if not 10 would've been Avengers #57 and 78, both by John Buscema. I think #1 was a can't miss, hard to top that Frazetta cover.

    @user-zo7mr3op8i 11 місяців тому +1

    The Silver Surfer covers 3 and 4 were outstanding but the cover to #1 was pretty stiff and doesn't do justice to the interior pages IMO.
    Look at the FF72 cover you featured, though. That has no FF characters but it has the Surfer and the Watcher featured prominently...could that FF cover have originally been intended for the cover of Surfer #1?
    Dates are about right too.

    What is your definition of "Artistic Aesthetic?"

    • @foxcellars
      @foxcellars  11 місяців тому

      Art is subjective, so we all certainly have our own personal definition aside from the standard beauty of the art form. Mine follows the rules of well crafted composition, tight control of the viewer's eye, thoughtful color selection, dramatic shots and perspective, and of course a demonstration of superior artistic skills.
