  • I hope everyone had a nice long weekend and for those of you that were playing with fireworks I hope you still have all your fingers. Let's get down to business, it is time for week 42 of CBR Crazy Covers!!

    Here are the rules:
    1.) Post a cover(s) that fits the designated category...easy!
    2.) Infinite amount of covers per person, try and make it a pic and not a link.
    3.) Have fun!

    This week's category shouldn't be that hard for you all and I hope it produces some interesting covers. This week we are looking for...GLASSES Cool. Covers showing a character wearing some form of glasses, sunglasses, a monocle, etc. I am laying down the law though and saying that Cyclops covers do not count!! UNLESS he is wearing a pair of red shades but not his optic goggles or whatever they are called. Happy hunting!!

    If you need help posting pics, look here: https://comicbookrealm.com/topic/20/16793/most-commonly-asked-questions

    I will start it off with Granny Blake showing off her spectacles:

    Daredevil facing the crazy Stillwell family in DD #219:

    Wonder Man showing off his sweet looking duds back in the day:

    The Badger doing his best Top Gun impression:

    And close it out with a great 90's Spirit of Vengeance cover, I always liked this book:

  • This week's topic should be easy to accomplish. I did have about 25 Cyclops covers....too bad.


    Starting off with the bespectacled hero and main man Stan Lee:

    After reading the caption I had to include this Superboy cover as it poses a valid question:
    Image

    I didn't like Kate Bishop as the new Hawkeye at first, but she's starting to rub off on me now, so everything's cool:
    Image

    I immediately thought of this cover of Doc Ock, but couldn't find a big enough colour pic, so.....

  • A few jumped to mind right away.
    Hope some are ones that maybe people haven't heard of and check out.

    First one I will start off with is Big Trouble in Little Chine #7 which has 7 Lords of Death members with varying eyewear:

    Image

    Next is a fun cover from Critters #30:

    Image

    Next, Painkiller Jane: 22 brides #2

    Image

    Then Winterworld #1.

    Image

    And last but not least Wild Blue Yonder #1.

    Image



    So of the above titles the last 3 were all really good and I quite thoroughly enjoyed them and would recommend looking them up. Having said that I haven't read all of Big Trouble in Little China cause have a few gaps to fill yet, but have enjoyed what I have seen.
