Cover Story - Top 10 Sabrina Covers

I swear, at some point I’m just going to have to transition this blog into something that talks about comic book adaptations and nothing else.  It’s honestly kind of startling the explosion in comic book adaptations we’ve gotten over the last 5 years, even beyond the confines of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  Case in point, today’s Cover Story will be looking at the top 10 covers featuring Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.  Most folks now probably know Sabrina from her ‘90s TV sitcom or the newly premiering Netflix series The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina but she actually has a long and storied career in the pages of Archie Comics.  

While rarely counted alongside the likes of DC, Marvel, and Image Archie Comics has absolutely dominated the non-superhero side of comic books since it set about imposing industry standards to kill its competition in that field (this is comic books people, there are no clean hands.)  While Archie and the rest of the Riverdale gang are their flagship crew they’ve also enjoyed a smattering of other long-lived successes, with Sabrina being core among them so let’s take a look at her top 10 comic covers.

Panel Vision - History of Lois Lane


If you like this post or want to support the blog, please consider donating

Yesterday, Noel Neill tragically passed away at the age of 95.  Though Ms. Neill enjoyed a long and storied career, her most famous role was as the very first actor to play Lois Lane, appearing initially in a pair of serials and on the Superman radio program.  Later, Neill would continue her role on the first live action Superman television series The Adventures of Superman and cement her place as one of the most iconic figures in comic adaptations. 

Seriously, alongside Dana Delany on Superman the animated series and Margot Kidder in the 1978 film series Noel Neill is one of the three women who define Lois Lane as a character and helped shape her history in the comics and the public eye.  Given that, and the fact I haven’t seen The Adventures of Superman, I thought I’d focus in on that history and break down the strange evolution of Lois Lane from girl reporter to the wife of Superman.

Cover Story - Top 15 Ninja Turtle Covers


So, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have returned to the box office 2 years after their universally panned reboot film.  While Out of the Shadows seems to have fixed some of the previous film’s problems audience interest seems lapsed at best, mainly owing to the first films complete lack of quality and the much more popular Nickelodeon show only picking up steam in the interim. 
However, I’m not here to discuss the failings of the new TMNT movie as I didn’t bother to go see it, fixed income and all that.  Instead, let us actually celebrate the Ninja Turtles the only way a comic book nerd like me can: with an arbitrary assortment of covers arranged into a ranking format so as to give the illusion of meaning and import to my personal preferences.  With that said, let’s dive into the shallow end and get the cover story on the top 15 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles covers.
