Monkey Covers

Sunday is Monkey Covers day here at YACB. Because there's nothing better than a comic with a monkey on the cover!

Kamandi fights a gorilla over Superman's costume on the cover of Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth #29 (1975) by Jack Kirby and Bruce Berry.

(Standard disclaimer about gorillas in the future not really being monkeys applies).

Best DC Cover Ever

In this week's DC Nation, art director Mark Chiarello is asking readers to vote for their favorite DC cover ever.

Now I know that there are a lot to choose from, what with all the wonderful monkey covers and all. But once you stop and think, I'm sure you'll agree that there is only one possible choice: the cover to Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #141 by Jack Kirby:




David Campbell agrees with me, and you know he's never wrong about these sorts of things. Brendan McKillip does too.

So I call on all of my fellow comic bloggers and readers to do the only sensible thing and cast your vote at DCNATIONCOVERS@dccomics.com for Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #141. (Votes must be sent in by 12:00am on January 5, 2007).

"Welcome to buried Las Vegas! Once a playground for men—Now a sinister hunting ground for GORILLAS!"

God bless Jack Kirby, for giving us the cover of Kamandi #3 in 1978.
