    Love that monumental menace one, it made me chuckle; the Dragon Man is also great, but really, they all are.

    Re-posting this comment; got it in an e-mail, but Blogger wouldn't recognize it...

    "William Preston

    Let's see: Kirby, Steranko, Colon, Romita, Kirby, Kane, Sal Buscema, Chan, Pollard?/Sinnott, Byrne. Nice. That Kane-cover issue was among the first I bought when I really started collecting; little did I know that the promise of discovering Steve Rogers's past was a recurring red herring."

    And you nailed all the artists, William! Way to go!

    Can't go wrong with covers by the "masters": Steranko, Kirby, Buscema, Kane & Gene Colan. As a kid, I loved the cover to Capt. America #171: "Falcon gets his Wings"...tried drawing that cover over & over !
