Back in the 1980s when that cover was drawn there wasn't a lot of consistency as to how Wolverine's claws were depicted. Sometimes they were flat blades like knives; other times they were thicker and rounder like animal claws.
It wasn't until Barry Smith's Weapon X story in MCP that they were definitely shown to be natural claws and not weaponry added when his skeleton was bonded with adamantium.

As for Weapon X, it's been a long time since I read it, but I thought we didn't know anything about the natural claws until Wolverine #75, which came a couple of years later?

And just to keep this from turning into a Mike Zeck appreciation thread, here are a few more that I love. The level of nostalgia is off the charts for these three as they are some of the first comics I ever bought. I still think they're great covers in their own right.

Hughes has a huge fanbase for a modern artist. I've been following original art sales the past year and Hughes' pieces are always in huge demand. I gave up bidding on them since they would always have fierce bidding competition. His stuff sells better than many other famous artists. He sells on par with Jim Lee, for instance.

For me it's the famous death of Supergirl issue from Crisis on Infinite Earths. It rocked my world when I first saw this cover. The iconic art by George Perez perfectly encapsulated the moment. Having Superman cry over her dead body was a stroke of genius. You can make out the other heroes mourning silently in the background. Though I wish they had come up with a better tag than "This is it! Double-size shocker!" Rest in peace, sweet Kara Zor-El.

Your Favorite Comic Book Cover Art
I have several comic book covers printed up on 8 1/2 by 11 in glossy paper up on a couple of my walls in my den. There are so many great covers with amazing artwork - and they look great on my walls!
So many iconic covers. What are some of your favorites?

One of the covers I have a deep emotional connection towards is Action Comics #583. It's not Curt Swan's best-drawn Superman cover, but the simple "Goodbye, Superman! We'll miss you!" coming from the various DC characters standing on top of the Daily Planet always gets me. It's always a little sad for me to realize the pre-Byrne Superman disappeared and never really came back (outside of Crisis-related shenanigans).

*edit* The cover art from the original first annual, pales in comparison.
