I'm looking for a DC comic from the late 1970s to early 1980s whose cover has the main DC heroes (possibly Justice League) in varying states of debauchery. For example, I remember that Aquaman is on the cover drinking a martini. I've been trying to identify and find this comic for years. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am looking for a comic with a little boy on the cover holding a little teddy bear with green aliens in the background. The little boy may have had a gun in his hand. I think it is from the late 70's or early 80's. I know that it had barrels of toxic stuff and subways in the comic book.

Hey I am looking for a comic book cover that my father saw in the early 50's. It has a woman on the cover and she says something along the lines of "I think we are the only normals ones left" and the guy that is behind her has turned into some type of monster. Any help with this comic cover would be great. Thanks

I'm looking for a comic cover about 10 years old, well possibly older, but I saw it about 10 years ago. I remember that it was one of those comics where the cover is really nice but the drawing inside is nothing like the cover hehe.

The cover was a naked female angel and male devil. One was floating above the other and their wings crossed, and also the devil was holding 2 sabers and the angle was holding 2 swords and they crossed too. So the theme was "god and evil entwined" ying yang thing.

I'm quite sure that it was not released by one of the big companies like DC, Marvel or Image even. More likely something like London Nights or similarly,..

I also don't think it was a superhero comic, I only flipped trough it briefly and don't remember exactly. But it struck as a sort of drama thing with religious sub tones (that's translated directly from Danish, don't know if that's even a English term hehe)

I can't really describe the cover. Unfortunately, all I can do is describe the story -- and poorly at that. So I really doubt this is anything more than a long shot...

By the way, It might be a "Superman" comic -- or it could be Action or one of the other "sub-titles" of "Superman."

The story about Superman and Lex Luthor - or it could be Superboy and a young Luthor. Luthor, of course, wants to destroy the world. He has built some scary machine that looks like an oversized van de Graaf generator. I picture the climax of the tale taking place in some countryside setting outside of Metropolis (or Smallville?), maybe with lightning flashing all about, maybe on a hillside. Superman/boy is hovering in the air above the machine, in a confrontation with Luthor.

And that's all I remember! I don't remember the details of the confrontation, although I suspect that Luthor didn't end up destroying the world. (-:

For whatever reason, this story made a huge impression on me and for years (decades, actually, sad to say...) I have been wanting to find this comic book and read it again.

It that rings a bell with you or anyone else, cool! If not, I'd hardly be surprised, given the scanty description.

As a teanager in the late 1970s, I saw a comic book on a newstand that had a cover that to this day still stands out in my mind. I didn't buy it and I don't remember the title of the comic book but I can still see (in my mind) the picture on it like I saw it yesterday. It depicted a villain fighting Batman, Superman and Robin -- all at the same time. He had one of them hoisted over his head with one hand, another grappled in his other hand and holding Robin at bay with one of his feet!

I've never been able to find that particular comic book cover since! I can tell you that I've scanned through all of the "World's Finest" covers and it was not one of those.

Any assistance from you helping me find this comic book would be greatly appreciated.
