The Six Sixteen Best Marvel Comics Cover of All Time
It’s kinda silly to pick a best of all time, but also, it's kinda fun.
After this morning’s post on Screenrant’s best Marvel Comics cover of all time, I couldn’t get it out of my head, thinking about what Marvel Comics cover I would pick for this. It’s a little silly and nearly impossible to pick a single best cover, but also, it’s kind of a fun exercise.
Here’s my list of candidates.
Candidates for my own best Marvel Comics cover of all time
As you can see from the gallery above, I decided to lean toward classic covers. The breadth of great comic covers from Marvel is just too vast to consider anything actually approaching an “all time” great cover. So I went with the classic comics that sprang to mind quickly for me. These were my top of mind favorites, so I didn’t over think it.
And the winner is…
I picked Uncanny X-Men #137. It was a tough call, but this one edged out the competition mostly because of its personal significance to me. It’s a great cover, too! The elements are strong: the way Scott and Jean are framed, the scene’s relevance to the story, and then, I personally really love that kitschy Phoenix Must Die! call out. Such a great all-around comics cover.
