Fantastic Four vol. 3 51-54 formed a vertical quadtych. I'm not a big fan of 'Ringo's art (at least, I think it's him, from memory, but the result is pretty awesome.

I don't have them in front of me, but a later set of issues of Starman (the James Robinson series), I think during the Stars My Destination storyline, formed a couple of triptychs, if not one big thing.

Diptych: two back-toback (duh to me, of course they're back-to-back) issues of BATMAN, late-'80s early '90s, done in clay or plasticine "Gargoyle" might be the title? Basically, 'Bats on one belfry and a Gargoyle-type monster on the other.

I'm just happy I got a mention. Made my day.

I could swear I'd seen them on the previous post, but I don't see it there, so... Flash vol.2 #197-200, the "Blitz" storyline. The front covers for #197-199, plus the wraparound for #200, fit together to form a 5-wide set. Impulse #68-69 is a 2-parter with Green Lantern and Adam Strange, and the covers combine to form a single image based on the Green Lantern: Circle of Fire cover motif. Also, the Titans Tower poster page shows several posters that were based on interlocking covers, including the JLA/Titans miniseries (which used 3 panels out of a 5 or 6-panel wide image), the two covers for The Titans #1 (1999), and the "Who is Troia?" tryptich from The Titans #23-25.

John Byrne's Generations 3 evidently has a Darkseid head when you line up all the covers. I can't really see it myself, but I am assured it's there. I believe he was trying for something more subtle than the normal multiple cover images.

The tpbs for The Walking Dead match up quite well.

The 12th issues of the four Heroes Reborn titles (Avengers, Captain America, Fantastic Four, and Iron Man) form a 2x2 quadtych.

The covers to the three-issue Green Lantern/Sentinel miniseries Heart of Darkness is a triptych.

Cerebus #139-142 is another. (Not in publication order, though, the layout is 141,139,140,142)

nor the Paradise X 14-tych. Can't seem to find it online either. I think that one could run in a continuous loop, similar to Ross's novel device to explain Marvel continuity.

Oh, also, Wonder Man 22-25

That was in the first installment...

The OHOTMU Delux is especially odd, since it's a looping nth-tych; the very last cover connects back up with the very first cover.

Mr. Fantastic's arm, by the way, stops stretching on the very last cover; he's restraining the Wrecker from belting somebody with his crowbar.

With Generations 2 are you just talking about the Batmobiles across the bottom of the page? I really don't think that counts

The original Handbooks covered here were the "Book of the Dead and Inactive" so not all of the characters were the no-longer-breathing variety of dead. Only the ones with their arms crossed over their chest were actually dead at the time.

There should be a few more diptyches from Spider-Man 2099; every issue Venom 2099 was in, they did an alternate "Venom 2099" cover for, and I think they were all connected that way (though you surely got the best one).

I sold mine off, so I'm not sure.

The Marvel Trading Cards [series 4] as well as a set of Spider-Man trading cards, they were all what I guess would be called nuftyches; 1-9 was one big picture, 10-18, etc.

Cooler still was series 3, where all 200 cards fit together into one huge thing. I don't remember how it worked, but I know it had to do with the spacey backgrounds on the cards.

Not all of the parts are out yet but the current arc of Ultimate X-men appears to have a quintych cover.

As for the book of the dead, Banshe isn't the only one that has been resurrected and killed again on the covers. Nefaria, Strucker, Goliath and Jean Grey have all been resurected and subsequently killed.
