<p>not sure of best cover but I always thought this was the ultimate battle</p><p>the cover of hulk vs swamp thing was pretty awesome as well</p><p><img src="http://www.titancomics.com/store/f4_112.jpg" border="0" width="580" height="1134" /></p>

<p>One of these two are the first that come to mind for me:</p><p><img src="http://www.6767.com/archives/death_of_superman_big_1.jpg" border="0" width="213" height="304" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="http://aboutheroes.com/meta/images/Superman75.jpg" border="0" width="200" height="303" /></p>

<p>Dc has better covers </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[EliSnow]

<p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">Speaking of having covers as real art, Marvel redid the following Daredevil as a print (without the text), which I&nbsp; have framed at home:</font></p><p><img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/EliSnow/6026_4_0001.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="613" /></p><p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">Also, I don't think either Marvel or DC has better covers&nbsp;than the others.&nbsp; I think you'll find great ones on both sides including this great DKR cover:</font></p><p><img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/EliSnow/dkkntc.jpg" border="0" width="378" height="575" /></p>

<p>Eli, Steranko's work on Nick Fury was incredible.&nbsp; Cap as well. </p><p>Kudos to you for making a sig out of it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One of my all time favorite covers -</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c34/Gvac/MKF71.jpg" border="0" /><br />&nbsp;</p>

<p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">BTW, I don't know if anyone is familiar with the Grand Comic Book Database website, but it's great to get comic book information and copies of covers:</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3"><a href="http://www.comics.org/index.lasso">http://www.comics.org/index.lasso</a></font></p>

books. Sadly will never get an essentail type reprint due to rghits issues mainly
dealing with the use of Fu Manchu. Still if you can find these at stores folks
grabthem terrific stuff blows away Iron Fist any day of the week.
