I have been looking through my old comic collections and stumbled upon some doozies. I dont have any pictures to post but i thought it would be fun to post some if you want and discuss how silly the 90s were for these things. Fantastic Four 375 is the perfect example of 90's comics!

PROTECTORS #5, from Malibu Comics. A bullet hole cover.  Or rather, a bullet hole comic. Y'see that hole........ran through the *entire* comic book. Seriously. |

Well, if we're doing multiple covers as gimmicks...
The Darkwing Duck comic series from last year had two covers or more per issue, and the recently released My Little Pony comic has about 18 different covers for its first issue.

One cover gimmick I remember liking was, when they debuted the four "successor" Supermen after Superman "died" fighting Doomsday, each cover was just their version of the S-Shield exposed, because there was a second cover that a close up of that version's chest (maybe back for Superboy, don't remember for sure.]

 I think I have most of them for the anniversary (one per Spider-man comic). The back-up stories were pretty good; I remember one about Spider-man talking about his powers to M.J. and another where Aunt May was thinking about Uncle Ben. |

Yeah, I remember this craze. I bought into it at first but then I grew to get annoyed with it. It seemed like almost every other comic was doing it and it was getting seriously out of hand.
I remember some comics had embossed covers (is that the right word?) where the characters' images were raised to create a 3D effect - one company had a very large breasted hero on the cover and you could essentialy "feel her up". I wish I remembered the hero though. It was some 90s Image wannabe company and that released it. The comic shop owner said he had to be careful who he sold it to.
I had all those Xmen covers as well. I also have two copies of the "Special" Death Of Superman comic in the black bag.

I love how Magneto's all like, "Could you guys knock it off, I'm trying to pose here." |

The Darkwing Duck comic series from last year had two covers or more per issue, and the recently released My Little Pony comic has about 18 different covers for its first issue. That's nuthin'.....the recently launched MARS ATTACKS! series from IDW had over 50 covers for #1 - 1 cover for each card of the old trading card series. And to rival that, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1 (to be launched early next year) will have at least 50 covers - one with a JLA flag, 50 more for each state's flag. |

I love how Magneto's all like, "Could you guys knock it off, I'm trying to pose here." The crew on Gambit's cover has the same mindset. "So, wait...are we fighting or just posing? Posing? We're gonna stick with posing back here, Cyclops." Here's the Superman colorforms cover someone mentioned. All for some random brawl with Lobo.  |
