The Hall of Covers celebrates all the comic books that are sources of
the ads in the Museum of Comic Book Advertising. In here, all ads used
throughout the Museum are accessible, even those used in our special,
themed exhibits. The Hall of Covers functions as the Table of Contents
for the Museum of Comic Book Advertising.
On its own, the Hall is a wonderful way to see of some of the most important and exciting comic book art from throughout the history of this unique art form. It provides historic context to every ad used in the Museum, and offers many interesting and entertaining links for additional information on topics. As you wander through the Hall, you may be amazed at where you end up.
Directions for navigating through the Hall are below. A complete index of all covers in the Hall of Covers is also below at the left. Please feel free to wander through the Hall of Covers any way you wish. You can enjoy just the covers, or use the Hall as a way to access the ads and historic displays that make up the Museum of Comic Book Advertising.

Finding your way through the Hall of Covers
The Hall of Covers is a key means of access to every ad on display in the Museum of Comic Book Advertising. Each cover on display in the hall provides links to the ads from that book that are used in the Museum.
To navigate through the hall in a linear fashion, simply click on the "Next" sign at the top of the right pillar. Using this navigation, you will see all group and individual cover displays in the Hall of Covers. To go backward, click on the "Back" button that will appear at the top of the left pillar as you move through the Hall. Group displays provide historic context and thumbnail images for comic books. Individual cover displays provide links to all ads archived in that book.
You can move more quickly through the Hall by viewing the group displays, accessed by the buttons just below the Museum Logo banner at the top of the page. Clicking on the thumbnail cover images in the group displays will show you the individual cover display, with links to ads that have been archived from that comic book.
Underneath ad displays are the curator's notes. Our curator works hard to check the facts for each display, provide a historical background to each books on display, add smaller images to the illustrate details, and provide interesting links to more information related to the exhibits.
Please feel free to leave the curator a note if you have a correction to the information in an exhibit. If you have a related link you'd like to see added to a display, please forward the link to the curator's office, as well. We'll evaluate the link and perhaps post it, with a credit to you.
Please report any broken or incorrect links, missing images or specific browser problems to the curator.
