Welcome to my cover collection.

Within the pages of this website are the results of my quest to collect cover scans of complete runs of classic, and not so classic, golden age comic book series. It is populated with scans from my own collection, images gleaned from the internet, and the generous donations from visitors to this site that took the time to send scans of their own along.

My personal bias becomes quite evident on the Fawcett pages as they are the dominant presence here. Captain Marvel was my introduction to comics, so it's here that I will pay tribute to him and all of his supporting characters of the 40s and 50s. I'm reasonably sure that this is the most complete and comprehensive collection of Fawcett hero comic covers freely available on the internet.

Conspicuously missing from this site however is DC. There is no denying that DC Comics and its predecessors were the masters of the golden age of comics, creating an extrodinary number of unique characters and publications that publishers even today still try to imitate or re-create. DC deserves the highest place of honor with regard to a golden age that they essentially created. That honor has been bestowed many times over in countless websites and discussion groups throughout the internet, and so, my thoughts were to praise the not-really-second-stringers such as Plastic Man, the Black Terror, and the Human Torch. For those of you that can't live without DC material, I urge you to visit Mike's Amazing World of DC Comics. The folks at DC should be paying this guy a huge salary for the enormous amount of work and the extrodinary job that he has done on his site.

Scans are grouped 15 per page in consideration of those with dial-up connections, and have purposely not been resized in order not to detract from the quality of the original or degrade it.

---New---

So much for the "life-long realiabilty" of bigfoot.com. It looks like my email forward has been failing for quite some time - sorry to those who were inadvertenly avoided when using my bigfoot.com address. So let's say thanks to Yahoo for the new email addy above.

Once again thanks to Skippy for his overly generous support. This time providing Doll Man quarterly #2 to complete that series. It can now be seen in the Quality comics Section.
