These make me feel nostalgic for the good ol’ days, and I’m only 24.

Remember when comics used to be fun? Yeah, me neither.

When I see covers like these I wonder why it was called â€œThe Golden Ageâ€ of comics.

The comics here are clearly aimed at appealing to children.

Nothing wrong or right about that.

Yeah, Burnley was a great artist (also, before he did superhero comics, he WAS a sports cartoonist, which makes the sports motif work), and that cover in particular jumped out as a really fine piece of work.

The cover to World’s Finest #29 looks very contemporary, and in my opinion is of much better quality than the other covers. GCD credits Jack Burnley with pencils and “Charles Paris (?)” with inks. Here’s Burnley on comicbookdb.com– http://www.comicbookdb.com/creator.php?ID=2110

“So whoâ€™s pitching?”

The reader, I guess.

The only thing missing in the first one is a hot kiss.

SURFING looks like not just surfing, but surfing over a waterfall. Of course, I’m in Canada, so what would I know…

I think maybe that’s supposed to be them cheerleading.

What the hell are they supposed to be doing in that last cover?

Always had a soft spot for the baseball cover, but the one with Robin winning the race is excellently drawn.

Surfing.

No doubt.

They’re all awesome. The roller-skating one is especially nifty, though.

Personally, I always liked #3, although you have to wonder who’s pitching.
