... well, I'm looking at ebay and see them going from anywhere to a few hundred for a poorer copy to over a thousand for a nicer one.

Remember, these Dell Disney comics were some of the most popular comics in American history and had enormous print runs, so there's a lot of 'em around.

The bright red spider suit swinging over the city with a bad guy under his arms. And if you look close, there are spectators watching from the adjacent rooftops. The perspective on this cover along with everything else make this #1. I wanted to see who would post this first. Thank you sir

You're welcome! I'm sure I can come up with a few more ideas!

I love that cover! All you need to know about that book is all on the front cover and what Guy is saying.

Two more very iconic covers:

When Flash dies in the previous issue it was shocking and surprising, but when Supergirl died, I was stunned. I was about 15 and I remember buying this off the rack and after reading it, I actually teared up. It still gets to me to this day.

It's Big John Buscema. One of his best. You probably know that and just goofed.
