Women top the 100 Best Comic Book Covers

I was hoping that Love and Rockets would make the cut! Every issue of that series is awesome on so many levels. It's so difficult to find a good LGBT-friendly comic that features female characters, let alone Latinas.

I'd really like to see it made into a film someday.

A few of my faves.

I'm reading the Bone series right now and Fone Bone is so cute it hurts.

Also a couple covers from the Y: The Last Man series are lesbo-rific. I'm not a huge comic book reader (but I'm trying) and they're on the top of my list.

The more I look at the Buffy comics the more I think I should be reading them! I was a massive Buffy fan.  Are they worth a read?

I really love the SiP nouveau covers from Vol. 3, Issues 51-53. 

The Gotham Girls (#1 - 5) covers are my all-time favorite. 

I also quite liked the latest Supergirl cover (#43). 

Surely there must be a mistake. This is the most awesome of the BtVS covers:

I don't know what my favorite Promethea cover is.

Final Crisis Revelations issue 2: Renee Montoya as The Question looking scary and powerful and sexy as hell.

First, a few Montoya covers, because she's so cool she deserves her own section:

Some great Adam Hughes Catwoman artwork: 

Wonder Woman showing everyone who's boss:

One of my many favorite Hack/Slash covers:

Witchblade:

And finally, everybody's favorite 4000-year-old Egyptian lesbian vampire goddess, Purgatori:

(Sorry for the image overload)

That previous one made me laugh, but I don't know if I should be laughing..

...check out some Purgatori...

Just to prove you can find older comics with powerful women on the cover, here's issue #11 of Howard Chaykin's brilliant early-1980s comic AMERICAN FLAGG! - which was way ahead of its time.

Great thread. Purgatori?Wonder Woman/Hack Slash are my favorites.

I saw a cover which had two schoolgirls making out, I forgot the name of it though.

Hey

Thanks for linking - of all the sites, blogs, forums, etc., that have picked up these posts you guys are definitely the nicest and least critical - I'm going to have to hang out here more often.

I did want to make a correction though - that first cover - the Amazing Spider-Man #29 with MJ on the cover?  It's by John Romita Jr., not Lee Weeks.  There was some conflicting info about it on the web and since I don't own that issue I wasn't able to confirm, but I got confirmation today and it's Romita Jr.  If you're able to correct your post great - if not, I guess we'll let this stand as the correction.  Apologies to Mr. Romita Jr. and Mr. Weeks for the confusion - and to you Linster for the inconvenience.

Thanks again for linking - and reading!

Best,

Kelly

I love this list.  Here's one from Wormwood that I like.

You ladies are representing Buffy and Runaways admirably, so I have to speak up for the women of Fables.

Fables #8: Rose Red as the boss of The Farm, and what a cute boss she is.

Fables #71: Cinderella is the most badass woman in Fables!

There is a french gal from Brussel(capital of comic books), that is going to publish a lesbian graphic novel. Coming out soon Le bleu est une couleur chaude (blue is a warm color).
