This catalog follows the original cover’s composition across published comics and announced editions. Trade dress, virgin, foil and sketch treatments are described in edition notes. Connecting sets identify their participating issues and panels.
Verified records have source support for the exact cover and target. Partial records retain attribution or edition gaps. Reprints, different homage targets and unresolved references are listed separately below.
The US direct edition’s on-sale date is August 2, 1983, according to GCD. Marvel’s digital catalog may display November 10, while League of Comic Geeks has a conflicting July 12 date. Distinguish the November cover month from the actual on-sale date.
