The colors in the title, corner boxes, etc., do not have to match the cover art, but it would be nice if they do.

Just keep rule number seven in mind and everything will be cool.♡

Going with the legendary Dale Eaglesham offering a study in scarlet:

[Kirby101]

An opportunity to post one of my favorite Kirby covers!

[CaptCleghorn]

Kirby101 'cuz the colors on that cover are why we see the heat of the desert. It's amazing how much old school Marvel coloring did for that already excellent cover.

Honorable mention to Ajax-X for the cover I had originally gone with, but my singular joke was just too important to me.

[Shalla Bal]

I think this one fits the bill

[Chicken Pocket]

[Carabas]

Ooh, excellent theme.



Still my favourite Batman run of all time.

[WestPhillyPunisher]

I'll cast my vote for PaulBullion! That all red Red Hulk cover was awesome!

[Carabas]

I have no idea what it is but I like it.

Abe.

[Iron Maiden]

Ajax_X

I loved David Aja's covers for the Scarlet Witch series. Almost used one of them myself

Honorable Mentions

Shalla Bal's Steranko cover with Polaris
The Darknight Detective and the Avengers #57 cover with the Vision in red by Buscema
ChadH and ASM #28 cover with The Molten Man vs Spider-Man

They all brought back fond memories of comics in our collection when my Dad would buy comics for us. IMO this is what made Marvel stand out on the newstands in that era...the artistic quality of their covers was striking for those times. They were going outside of the box, stop using word balloons at times and let the art speak for itself.

Tami, for an example of a powerful image that is made even more so by using limited color to emphasize it

Ajax_X, though there were other covers that also caught my eye, this one stood out.
