When the cartoon debuted, people were stealing the posters put up to advertise the cartoon. So that’s where the idea for this cover came from.

Thanks for the info on Stewart! So hard to keep track of the anniversaries. You don’t know a legit site that keeps track of those things, do ya?

Gonna have to do something on John for my podcast & videos.

And enjoyed the rest of the covers, too!

Golden Age story still have their place! They should be read in the context of the times and how the stories were presented. Thanks for the share!

My first stop is http://www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/ to find covers, when something came out, credits, etc.

For a deeper search, the final word is https://www.comics.org/

Thanks for replying! Yes, I also use Mike’s. It is one of those resources that I sometimes don’t think gets enough credit. In my own pieces, I try to spotlight comics and creators who don’t get a lot of attention.

Unless anyone objects, I’d like to add covers to the thread. my niche (or nudges) are comics I think should be added to the service. For example, Superman 50. It is the 10th Anniversary issue AND has the first appearance of Super Baby! My first Baby stories came from the Superman Family Dollar Comics.
