Ordinary favorite comic covers from yesteryear

Not all comics from our past have been hailed as classics. I'm talking about your "Death of Phoenix" level of classic.
No, many/ some comics were ordinary, average, mediocre or even lame but for some reason you love the cover. It just pushes the right nostalgic buttons and it just brings back a flood of memories.
What are your picks?

I'll start:

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

One of my very favorites is from Vampire Tales Annual. Morbius never looked better -

(Have this one hanging over my bar)

Just loved all the 70's Marvel Supernatural mag. covers -


Not to mention, just their straight-up, sci-fi mag covers -

($1.00 cover price, what a buy!)

Unknown Worlds of Sci-Fi -



Marvel Preview Satana -



Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu



I just adore all these old B&W mag. covers & have managed to collect almost everything Curtis produced. Talk about Essential or Omnibus fodder. I'd love to see all these titles eventually collected into trades.

One of the weirdest comics, with a poorly written story and badly executed absurd art (bizarre proportions there on the cover!) but as a kid, I got excited seeing Wolverine on the cover (back when he was not overrated and overexposed)
