One of the most iconic covers of all Batman and DC comics. This cover also signifies the rebirth of Batman. No longer is he a campy man. This cover marks his transition to the dark and gritty hero that he is now today.
There is no humor, no comedy, no campy movies. All of these are signified in this single artwork on the comic cover.

Batman looking down on the city he protects, Gotham, from the top of a gargoyle, is one of his iconic poses. There are many iterations of this pose, but the most famous version comes from the cover of this comic, Batman #608.
And this legendary artwork was created by legendary comic book artist and writer Jim Lee.
Action Comics #1 (1938)
Superman was first introduced in this comic, Action Comics #1. Published in 1938, this comic had a legendary cover of Superman holding a car over his head. That alone signified his strength back in the 1930s.
This cover piqued the curiosity of all readers, and everyone loved Superman. That alone launched the superhero genre in comics.
Iron Man #128 (1979)
Who thought we would ever see Iron Man in his mentally broken state! We know that IronMan has fought many powerful villains and aliens in his iron suits. But we never thought that his greatest enemy was alcoholism. It was a first to see Tony so broken in his reflection on the cover.
Of Course, there are many other legendary comic covers, but these piqued our interest.
