JB, that X-Men #141 has to be one of the most covered covers in comicdom.  Was  that your idea, or was it from some other source? 

As for which cover I like the best, I guess it would have to be X-Men #137, because that is what hooked me on JB, it got me interested in Marvel for real.

I'd go with JB's pick but like that Spider-man cover.

Since I'm a DD and JB fan, DD 200 is a must!

(Need more JB DD)

The only thing that might make that Alpha Flight #3 cover better is if the logo and "headbox" were B&W, too.  That way Aurora's face would stand out even more.

It would be nice to see that Spectacular Spider-Man cover with a B&W logo as well.

He's done sooooo many good covers! One of my favourites is the "To Riverdale And Back" cover.

The Bat-Man Generations cover is a good example of employing fear. When Drawing Covers does the Editor have the final say on the design, or specifically ask for a certain scenario?

Here you go, Wallace (although I went for a headbox-less AF3 cover):

Once again, the colorist really helped me out on that DOOM PATROL cover, huh? Not only does the dark blue -- because, you know, when things collapse they turn blue! -- obscure much of the detail in the mass of rubble Cliff is lifting, apparently they were visiting Willie Wonka when the collapse occured, as chocolate syrup is pouring our of the debris either side of Cliff.
