Post the most iconic cover in DC Comics history

[Restingvoice]

Yep. This is my first thought.

I think the Flash has had (or been a part of) some of THE most iconic covers in DC history.

I prefer the original:

or this

Great choice. Is that artist Neal Adams?

Agree, great choice. (as I'm sure Jim Kelly would attest; yes it's Adams- https://www.comics.org/issue/23937/
Also here is a version without the logos.

Arguably, Elseworlds begins here...





...which would then lead to other favorites from Elseworlds:

[The Darknight Detective]

That really wins hands down, IMO.

[Electricmastro]

That really wins hands down, IMO.

Eh, I don't agree. I feel like covers like this are more iconic.

[The Darknight Detective]

Eh, I don't agree. I feel like covers like this are more iconic.

It's definitely up there and it's a better looking cover, but the other one is the one that started it all. I'd be shocked if it hasn't spawn more homage covers than any cover, too.

The original cover was by Neal Adams.

Curiously though, when did DC the replica edition in 2004, the cover was a remake by Dick Giordano. Note the change in the colour shading.

I like how the cover features the heroes of two Earths mingling together. Wonder Woman of Earth-Two stands between the Superman and Batman of Earth-One. Wonder Woman of Earth-One stands between the Flash and Atom of Earth-Two (Al Pratt must be standing on an orange crate).

Well really though, New Fun #1 started it all for DC. Not the same as Action Comics #1 I know, but I'm just that sort of person that attempts to look at history as a whole.

[The Darknight Detective]

Well really though, New Fun #1 started it all for DC. Not the same as Action Comics #1 I know, but I'm just that sort of person that attempts to look at history as a whole.

It was indeed an important cover, but not one you see a lot. In fact, before you posted it, I had no idea what it looked like (unlike Detective Comics #1, which I first saw 43 years ago).

This is taken from Michelangelo

Seems to be not completely without talent, this new Michael Angelo fella… he might be going places!

[Jim Kelly]

Not a cover, but Batman comes honestly by his pietà pose with Robin, as it was first done in a panel all the way back in BATMAN No. 5 (Spring 1941), "The Case of the Honest Crook." Look it up.

[Güicho]

To my eyes anyway, embodies Kirby's jump to DC and injection of his cosmic concepts.



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

[Güicho]

Not my favorite, but if you are going to hold up one cover Iconic of the the Bronze Age O'Neil & Adams (age of relevance). Speedy shooting up is likely the most emblematic of the time.



Although to represent that era I much prefer



Or Adams re-take with either of his Butch & Sundace style Green Lantern Green Arrow charge to represent that era.
