Thought this was kind of interesting:

Click through it and its not a bad list, i notice that they didn't really choose on iconic but artistic merit which is really cool. Not too sure about the top 10 but still a good list

[Flashforward]

I think the list is weighted far too heavily toward newer comics. I mean, Neal Adams wasn't anywhere on the list, and he was one of the most prolific cover artists of the 1970s. I didn't see a single Shomberg or Raboy cover, nor did I spot much from John Romita Sr., who drew some amazing (no pun intended) covers or even George Perez. The list contained far too much work from James Jean (although he is incredible), and Darwyn Cooke. The only artist whose work was represented fairly in the list was John Byrne (even though the guy is a total bastard). To say that covers by modern artists have more aesthetic appeal, than say, something by Alex Shomberg, who drew some of the most innovative propaganda covers for Timely in the 1940s or Carmine Infantino, whose covers on the Flash literally jump started the Silver Age (the Flash running off a strip of film is one of the most inventive and artistic things ever on a cover), is just crazy.
