Post the most iconic cover in DC Comics history

Great cover, and truly iconic. But, don't forget their first ever appearance:

Once they started putting UPC boxes on comic book covers, I could never feel the same about comic book covers again. Those eyesores always detract from the beauty of the work. And I can't forget the first issue cover of THE NEW TEEN TITANS had one of them boxes--so the scan on this thread must be from a version that was redone to get rid of the UPC beast--other features look doctored, as well, like the glowy effects. This seems to happen a lot with covers. For instance the original ALL-STAR COMICS No. 3 cover is often reprinted to look different from the original.

But, don't forget their first ever appearance:

I'd never forget it, just didn't think the SC Comics Presents #26 cover warranted the Icon status as much as the visual of Titans #1 did.
I do love that Green Lantern v Superman cover though , and as they intended their bonus feature lead right into me buying and becoming a New Titans reader.

Other issues I know I bought that same month July 1980-
Are:
Justice League of America #183 the start of the Crisis JLA New Gods crossover, which was a great JL arc.
Actually the next months issue #184 by George Perez would make my Iconic cover list


And from Marvel that month I bought;
Avengers #200 (another George Perez cover)
Power Man and Iron Fist #65 which guested El Aguila LOL!
Probably that Conan #115
Thor #300
and X-Men #138 which I would also count as Iconic, for the Marvel thread and of course X-Men #136 from a couple of months before, which was referenced earlier in the thread.

My favorite would be the time when DC & Marvel became BFF:

Loved that cover and crossover

As well as ...



And eventually the long awaited ...


But honestly neither beat the sharp and epic pose on that Infantino/Andru and Giordano (inks) Superman vs. Spider-Man

I prefer the original:

HA!
So do I!!
It's one of my prized possessions! (Along with Flash #110 and #123)

I prefer the original:

Not that it matters, but does anyone know who the artist is on this?

Of course, it's the always great cover duo of Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson!

Thanks, Jim. Yes, this is definitely a classic, iconic DC cover for sure.

Swamp Thing had quite a few iconic covers (especially Alan Moore's "The Anatomy Lesson"):

This one somewhat reps an iconic new generation. (similar to how giant size X-men #1 had done at Marvel)

Cover now in 3D
This is fantastic!

Not a DC cover, but an iconic Fawcett cover.



CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES No. 18, painted by C.C. Beck. Of course, it's been subsequently used and adapted by DC.

^^^Since it seems alright to post iconic covers from Fawcett, these would then be My Top 3:
