17. Blackhawk (DC) 9great use of the central black as body and sky)
18. Tales of the Unexpected (with the 1st appearance of the legendary Green Mitten)
19. Promethea (although the Spectre is nice but doesn't have the full cultural vibe)
20. Astro City (The Terrible Trio bring friends!)

9. ALL-STAR. The art's not as polished, but that's not always the point. 10. MS. MARVEL. Mary's my girl, and Wow had charm. But Carol! You're the antagonist, and she's seconds away from punching your lights out. 11. BRIDES IN LOVE. I like the "everyday"-ness of it. No crazy plot or ridiculous problem, just happy folks having a smooch before breakfast. 12. CTHULHU TALES. Suspense over shock. 13. THE WITCHING HOUR. The black and white of the logo, the pink, and that small bit of purple with the witch's hat...I really like this coloring. 14. RUSE. Yeah, that's right! 15. WENDY. Let's face it, Harvey had solid quality control of their kids' lines -- I don't know if I've ever seen a poor cover. So it all comes down to which gag you think is funnier. Or something like LOVING THAT GREEN. 16. AQUAMAN. This was HARD. 17. BLACKHAWK (DC). EASY. Quality also tended to have well-done covers, but the DC one here is just awesome. 18. I LOVE YOU. He can't die with the green glove --- she's gonna use hers TO LIVE! 19. PROMETHEA. But if that orange was another color (I don't like it next to the green) Spectre would probably win. 20. ASTRO CITY. When I put this together, I though the Arrow Shirt couple on Lazarus was going to get my vote. Nope, the white elements got me like a moth to a flame.

21. Animaniacs (Beanworld is curious but "100% Polyester" clinches it)
22. Magic Comics (After lighting a match next to dynamite, "Muffles" Scarburn fights crime as the Third Degree Man)
23. Mister Miracle (One of the first "meh" matchups. Too much going on in dead boy, too desperate trying to be interesting)
24. Legion of Superheroes (classic battered cruiser cover)

1. Cardy does NOT automatically win!! I respond best to the Titanic tussle elaborately drawn by George Perez!
2. NOT A HOAX. NOT A DREAM. IT HAD TO HAPPEN. And it is. IT'S A TIE. Just lie there and let it happen, why don't you? One has DeeDee level craziness and suspect hairbrushing technique, one has plastic ass and the bends. Both rock equally.
3. MILLIE.
4. That darling of comics BLACK CAT!
5. SUPERRMAN's super dates!
6. DAREDEVIL has more dynacysm! Or whatevs.
7. Like Lois Lane, I suspect SEA DEVILS will trump any comers.
8. ACTION by a hair but both bore me.

25. Lover's Lane (Lois' book when she was tired of waiting for Superman)
26. Herbie (The text on the Flaming Carrot cover is much better, but too hard to make out. I never noticed it before, and I have that one.)
27. Young Heroes (Don't want to know the details behind the other one)
28. Famous Authors (The Headless guy seems to have gone trough someone garden gnome collection there. Besides the pointing, I'm a huge fan of The Rajah Takes the Census. Right up there with The Green Mitten.)

21. ANIMANIACS.
22. LOVE FIGHTS.
23. MISTER MIRACLE. Hard to tell what's going on on the other one.
24. TMK LSH.
25. BOY MEETS GIRL. Lover's Lane is a bit too twee.
26. FLAMING CARROT. That gorilla has weird arms, and what's with that shadow. It 'reads' strangely to my eyes.
27. SECRET WARS. I gotta add that to the evil eyebrows thread!
28. CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED. Props to FAI, it's a nice-looking package --- but the Headless Horseman is a compelling image.
