Number 11:
Ultimate Spider-Man #78 (Marvel – 2005)
Cover art by Mark Bagley
Mark Bagley returns to the count-down at #11. This is a very sad emotional cover. Mary Jane’s eyes look like they are about to burst into tears. Pretty cool touch having the artist’s signatures in the label of her bibs.
Check by tomorrow night for number #10 in the count-down of my Top 100 favorite covers.

Number 12:
Wolverine #159 (Marvel – 2001)
Cover art by Sean Chen
Inked by Danny Miki
Sean Chen delivers a striking Wolverine cover at #12. This image really drives home the savage invincibility that so defines the character. I love how he’s literally on fire and being shot and he still keeps coming. And did you notice the cigar? This has to be one of the last times you will see Wolverine depicted smoking as Marvel editorial made the decision to no longer allow any “good-guy” characters to smoke around this era if memory serves. I’m pretty sure it was toward the end of Sean Chen’s run. Anyone know exactly when that happened?
Come back tomorrow night for number #11 in the count-down of my Top 100 favorite comic book covers.

Number 13:
Werewolf by Night #13 (Marvel – 1974)
Cover art by Mike Ploog
Mike Ploog returns to the count-down with Werewolf By Night #13 at #13. I love the classic monster versus monster madness.
Come back tomorrow night for more in the count-down of my Top 100 favorite comic book covers.
