RE: Spawn: A Look at a Year’s Worth of the Coolest Homage Covers

Sweet...I’ll call my friend immediately...

Lol

Yeah Spidey #1. I remember the day that book came out. We were hanging out at our local comic shop. I was 10 years old and was so excited for it. Seems like a lifetime ago. Great book to have on the wall. Secret Wars #8 is a killer book as well. One that you should “upgrade” to eventually!!! To be honest, I’m just happy you have any comics hanging on your wall. That’s awesome!!!

I am too. After years of lugging them around in boxes from move to move, I figured I should display them in a way where I'll see them and appreciate both the comics and my nostalgia. I've also got a 5x5 board of various cards (mainly the 92 Marvel cards, with a few 91's and the 92 Masterpiece collection). It's really fun to swap them out, prove that I was into the Infinity Gauntlet decades before it was popular, and see what me kid likes. (Thing is the favorite right now because 'pretty blue eyes')

I have that whole set of cards as well. Man I was a sucker for all the comic cards. Joe Jusko is awesome!!

I'd have to agree. Jusko's set was the first time I can remember thinking of comics (or related) as art. Even if my wife makes good-natured fun of me for the Black Cat card.

I was a particular sucker for the 92 Marvel cards because of how you could fit them into sheets with coherent backgrounds.
