81. Not much to choose between them. Lots of flat colours. There's horizontal middle line created by the shells, as The Flame beats up one of the allies and goes rogue with them. Then there's the centering of Vic against the moon. I actually though that was the end of a drainpipe and miniatured Iron Vic was fighting off Micro Goons. Vic gets points for the night and moon to provide a nice backdrop to the logo. But Wonderworld is the cooler title, and it sets more of a scene than being mugged on a beach. Wonderworld gets the win.
82. Daredevil. An interesting perspective from the villain/ critter's point of view. Spidey is too busy: a looming shadow and a spidey signal is conflicting.
83. Lois Lane. Classic cover showing Clark having to put up with people guessing his identity over decades. In later years, SuperGramps would wonder why he created robots to torment himself like that. Who is that smiling onlooking couple who appear on so many of these romance covers? Boy: "Oh look Babs and Tim have finally gotten together. Isn't that devine?." Girl: "I hope she's not snorted all her inheritance up her nose, as he's that's all he's after." They annoy me.
84. Strange Adventures. More chance of handy otherdimesnional intervention than that of law enforcement on a train. Good luck, pal. I've read that Strange Adventure tittle. The actual mystery turns out to be how the lady on the cover manages to breathe with such a thin waist and neck. Strange has a nice cover split of characters/ blackboard and hands/ logo, with the board angled nicely to go half way across the vertical. Nicely constructed.

81. WONDERWORLD. Neither close to masterful. WW for the flyn' cape.
82. DAREDEVIL. Perspective!
83. LOVELORN although I wish the streamers/balloons went behind/above the title.
84. STRANGE ADVENTURES. Wacky! (But again with the dulled colors.)

Nooooes! So sooooon! Loved these as always Teeds. 85. Uncanny. I'm a sucker for these. The covers were often so good at grabbing the attention with a weird, or in this case uncanny, premise. "You're half the man he is" takes on sinister overtones from this cover. Elsewhere Mr Muscles provides a pose that will later inspire Flex Mentallo, before going off to tell Ozymandius about how the world could be so much better. He's not doing much on the actual cover though. 86. Tippy Teen. There's a gag, and Mr Muscles can be seen in a tarzan outfit in the background. He really is behind all comic plots. Girls would have got more points if that lightbulb was spaced away from the logo/ incorporated into it. Nice art, but maybe not as creepy without the context. 87. Deadpool. The damaged Ivobots could make for a sinister story. Ego-Force is a little vague on the story details and doesn't have the try-out feel that it should have. 88. Hot Stuff. Points for the logo and the malevolent expression. Quite nasty looking for a kids comic. The devil in his slippers looks a bit of a sap over on Harley.

85. UNCANNY TALES. Why yes, I'll take the wacky!
86. TIPPY TEEN. A gag AND Leonard Nimoy.
87. X-MEN LEGACY.
88. Of course Harley would pick Old Nick's lap over Saint Nick! HQ is fun but I gotta give it to the color-saturated HOT STUFF showing the pretender how it's done.

Lots of classic cover extras too. Thanks Teeds.
