Ooh! Mike Grell's Legion of Super Heroes issue where they fought Pulsar Stargrave for the first time, with the splash page of Superboy being knocked into orbit...
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

I can think of a lot of iconic covers, but interior pages aren't popping up as easily.
My brain keeps going to Jack Kirby splash pages. Maybe Thor in hell rescuing Hercules. There's a lot of big machinery, that's for sure. Maybe Scott Free escaping Apokolips.
Havok taking apart a Sentinel way back when Neal Adams was drawing X-Men.
Ooh, yeah that's good. I think my Neil Adams page would be bare-chested, hairychested Batman confronting Ra's Al Ghul.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

See, I thought he looked kinda dumb because he was still wearing his cowl. Also, that issue had the kiss with Ra's's daughter, again barechested w/cowl, but still hot.

Speaking of comic art, here's (most of) my GF's collection: [link] Her grail piece is the autopsy spread from Who Killed Retro Girl. She was asked to be on a panel at last years' Comic-Con as a collector of recent comic art. So proud!

Good choice. Iconic in a lot of ways.

Did you see that she has her grail? Did I mention the proud part? [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hee! She has a pretty awesome collection, if I do say so myself. As for NC, we're still considering it...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Hmm, one of my favoritest ever pages was during Claremont and Byrne's early run of X-Men, where Wolverine has been left for dead in the sewers by the Hellfire Club's face-masked minions, and he's looking up at daylight, so that the light of the grate is on his face, and with his claws bared is vowing revenge.
And then you had to wait an entire month to find out what happened next... which led, in fact, directly into the Dark Phoenix storyline, so things went even more to hell than you expected.
I may have been young and innocent in those days ("the golden age of anything is when you're fourteen") but damn that was a good comic book series. SIGH
