Making a Splash: Thirteen from Thirteens

 Back in the Groovy Age, a comic getting a thirteenth issue was definitely not bad luck! To celebrate Friday the 13th in a most groovy way, let's plant our peepers on thirteen of Ol' Groove's fave 13th issue splashes...

Super-Heroes vs. Monsters, Groovy Age Style!

 Happy Halloween, Groove-ophiles! Let's take a trip through the Groovy Age (well, 1972-1980 to be exact) and check out thirteen fearsome and far-out super-hero vs. monster covers (by the talents of titans Gil Kane, Nick Cardy, Joe Staton, Mike Grell, Rich Buckler, Dave Cockrum, and more). The twist, or theme within the theme, if you will, is that all of these classics hit the spinner racks in the month of October during that sensational and sparkling span! To make things even more interesting, it had to be straight-up super-heroes, not supernatural super-heroes (sorry Doc Strange et al), not monster super-heroes (looking at you Thing, Hulk, and company), but out-and-out long-underwear types (or, in Iron Man's case, long-armor?) vs. monsters! Aw, you don't wanna read the rules--you wanna look at the awesome covers! Onward!
