I think that would be a fantastic idea. I'll be honest, I'll probably work on it in waves. I get really motivated for a hot second, then completely lose interest for while. Then I come back at it with a vengeance, lol.]]> Mon, 17 Jul 2023 16:53:31 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17963 Message from collectibleshop glorkar wrote:

I see you started a bunch now, so cool. I'll pop in and add some now and then when I'm bored.
Note to admins: One thing to help keep them all together vs getting all scattered about all the time---maybe making a pinned thread/topic (like 'Add Theme issues here') or better, a separate forum for them under the Price Guide Research section would be appropriate and more organized, as this could get to be a huge amount of comic pics. would save people scrolling past more posts they may not care about in the Database forum too.

so a few quick ones if they're still being added:

American Flag:
Uh, how is it the most obvious title has none in this theme? American Flagg! Vol 1: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/american-flagg/unyy . Depending on how much flag you need to qualify, there's #1, #2 maybe, 12 and 50. If it's any kind of depiction, then the title logo has it for 50 issues, same with vol. 2 (now spelled Amerikan, and with an odd capital S after Chaykin): https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/howard-chaykins-amerikan-flagg/uoqr

and Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #13


More American Flagg with other themes:
Carrying:
#5:


maybe #6, or Along for the Ride?


Vol 1 has a few more iffy carrying ones too, will let an admin scroll thru and decide.

Along for the ride:
(vol 2) #4:


Kissing:
#26:

maybe #24 too, hard to tell if she's conscious or not, despite the hands around his head. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/american-flagg/24/phvuiw

Vol 2 #6 Kissing:


Thru the legs:
American Flagg #46



that's it for now...]]> Tue, 11 Jul 2023 19:28:44 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17963 Message from shavagonew

Pieta Covers - The hero is kneeling while holding or cradling someone who is injured or dead.
Carrying Covers - The hero is standing while holding someone who is injured, dead or in need of help.
Along for the Ride Covers - The hero is swinging or flying while holding someone.

What do you all think?]]> Mon, 26 Jun 2023 11:19:21 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17963 Message from glorkar Fri, 23 Jun 2023 13:37:12 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17963 Message from Ronbatman
So, the original idea for a carrying cover was related to the imagery of Crisis on Infinite Earths 7. Two hands holding someone while standing on the ground. As I've gone along I noticed that Superman, Batman and Spider-man carry people all the time while flying or swinging. I think that's a different theme somehow. What would you call that theme?

Think Amazing Fantasy 15 cover or Detective 27 cover or the hundreds of Superman covers with him flying someone around

Please give me your ideas for a good name

If it's alright with you, I'd like to make topics for each theme in the database forum and keep adding to the lists (with no time expectation for them being added).
If nothing else, the posts themselves will be neat to look at.]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2023 15:27:44 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17963 Message from Ronbatman
We are discussing several options
Nighthawks covers (diner)
Santa
Patriotic or flag based
Bondage
Cornered against a wall
Spanking
Nazi
Riding Missiles
Good girl
Mona Lisa
Statue of Liberty
etc.

The problem. I enjoy doing these as well but my time cannot be solely used for this. I've already devoted 3 full days to this because I sent the newsletter about it. We want to provide good quality information instead of just milking customers for more cash. If you read our newsletter you can see that we don't often sell our services, we provide value or prizes. If I talk about something in the newsletter, I want it to be helpful, fun or informative. Based on that, I think today is the last day I'm going to work on this for a few days. I'll jump back in next week.

Some suggestions:
Action Figure, Pride, Woman's History, Black History, AAPI, 3-D, Bondage, Statue of Liberty?


I think I'd be most excited for the last three.]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2023 13:26:54 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=17963 Message from Ronbatman Avengers 87 has the right stance but the scene is outside his legs so I didn't include it.

Kissing covers can be almost if it's obvious. Eyes closed, lips pursed, etc.

Fantastic Four 1234 4 is a tough one. It's a mix of both which is probably why you didn't label it like you did the others.

Glorkar,
All of yours have been added. Thanks

The first is the Clayton Crain Pieta variant of Amazing Spider-Man #538
where Peter is on his knees holding Aunt May who has just been shot by a
Kingpin goon who was aiming for Peter.


The second is the 2nd printing of Final Crisis #6 which is a sketch of Doug
Mahnke's last page illustration where Superman is carrying Batman's body
who had presumedly been killed by Darkseid.

How we define them.
Carrying Cover - one person standing or flying while carrying another person.

https://comicspriceguide.com/themes/carrying-covers/pl

Pieta Covers - one person kneeling while holding another person.

https://comicspriceguide.com/themes/pieta-covers/pm

Excluded from either theme. Someone throwing someone else. Multiple people carrying one person like a funeral.

We need your suggestions. What covers can you think of that are carrying or pieta covers?
