As December continues along its merry way here is another glance back over the past 12 months, this time in the form of comics covers. As in recent years, 2016 saw a variety of talented artists working in a broad range of styles. Whittling down the list, as always, is a bit a difficult, but that is how it should be. Tough choices only serve as a reminder of how much great material is being published these days.
All entries are listed alphabetically by title.
Nothing But Comics 
I haven’t seen that Amazing Forest cover before. Beautiful!
Yeah, if nothing else, that series produced some stunning covers . . .
A seal fishing off a walrus’ back is cuteness exploitation. Not even remotely fair.
Perhaps but it’s Staples’ coloring & exquisite handling of the reflection in the water that truly sells it – the calming ambiance is stellar . . .
Ya, I was kidding but, ya.
Internet problem number “too many to count”. Typed words do a shit job of conveying mood and tone.
Aye that be true enough . . .
