![]() ![]() I personally like this cover best, but I have yet to see a cover I don’t like. Vaughan’s aptly named Saga wouldn’t be nearly as fantastical without Fiona Staples’s bold art. She even managed to make that ridiculous outfit look good. Power Girl #1 (2009)Īmanda Conner’s vibrant style breathed new life into the character of Superman’s cousin, Power Girl. This cover was used for the collected edition, The Complete Persepolis. Marjane Satrapi’s autobiographical Persepolis uses a deceptively simple art style to relate the creator’s childhood in 1980s Iran. Nowhere is this more evident than his (and Tom Smith’s) covers for the JLA/Avengers crossover event. George Pérez is the undisputed champion of drawing massive crowds of people while still managing to make everyone look distinct. Simple and powerful, this image of the Dark Knight by Jim Lee, Scott Williams, and Alex Sinclair is part of the classic storyline Batman: Hush. Longtime hero Hal Jordan crosses over to the dark side in this unforgettable image. Green Lantern #49 (1994)Ĭreated by Darryl Banks and Romeo Tanghal, this cover signaled a massive change in Green Lantern lore. ![]() This is not your typical Wonder Woman story (it’s about a teenage girl who loses her friend to suicide), so it needed an atypical cover to go with it. I only picked the first one, but pretty much all of Dave McKean’s evocative, unsettling covers from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman could have qualified for this list. Kevin Maguire and Terry Austin’s classic cover wants to beat me up, and I would be honored to let them. What better way to show a change to the status quo than by having your shiny new character literally smash the old title to pieces? Justice League #1 (1987) Walter Simonson’s run on Thor got off to a kickass start with this cover. It wasn’t until the new line-up quite literally burst onto the scene-courtesy of this cover by industry stalwarts Gil Kane and Dave Cockrum-that the team really took off. The X-Men actually weren’t all that popular in their original incarnation.
