Let’s post old gimmick comic book covers

DC did the face thing too (these postcards were taken from some of those covers):
To go along with this, one of my favorite cover connects gimmick was the Millenium Giants story:
They did something similar to this for the 2nd MegaMan/Sonic Archie crossover, but it was a 12 issue spread over the variant covers.
huh was there an all white version of this? Torch goes supernova?
Solar 10 was cool
Shit I just realized I have that one too.I had so many of these.
Damn basement flooding.
Couldn't find a better picture of this. But it was old Batman on a cutaway, and then you open to reveal new shiny Batman
Damn I was such a sucker for these covers when I was a kid.
I remember my dad had a couple of these Marvels issues with Alex Ross art. The covers were clear plastic with the reversed title text, and the inside page was the fill image.
These looked so beautiful.
Being an hour from a comic shop, we only got whatever the local department store, gas stations, drug stores, or food stores got on their shelves. You could rely on Spider-Man and X-men books, sometimes DC and Image but for some reason every Malibu book.
But these were only at the LCBS and they sold out almost immediately. I believe the reprints were notmal covers. The only time I saw one of these were on the wall of the comic store with a mark up.
I can't help but want to ask about the fluid on Black Cat's chest. But I don't want to know but why did they think that would fly but but but
This one pissed me off for two reasons:
I didn't dig the art (my fault)
My cover came from the comic delivery service with a weird warped bend on it.
God damn, I had like 75% of the covers in this thread, lol. Loved the 4 Superman covers that were a cut out of the S symbol for the Steel, Superboy, Cyborg, and Eradicator Supermen.
But how has this one not been posted yet???

I mean, as long as we're doing gimmick covers you gotta do the bestseller of the arc.
I'm surprised this wasn't the first post. There was a time when it felt like everyone on earth had 2 copies of that comic, cause everyone was so sure it was going to be worth something.
To avoid continuing to sound like a broken record(because I have all the variants of X-Men 1 and the Sleepwalker comic)
I also have all the original trades of Age of Apocalypse, that look like this.

Yeah, art could have been better. It was just the first time I seen a transparent cover like that.
This was really an epic arc to follow at the time...
Still my favorite Batman arc of all time.
