This is a game I really like that I've hosted at comic forums like CBR and the Masterworks Message Board, so I figured I'd give it a shot here. =)

The rules are simple: I'll post a small excerpt from a comic book cover. Each time I update, each player gets to ask one "yes or no" question ("Is this a Marvel or Fawcett comic?", "Was the comic published in or before 1990?", etc. - any question that can be answered with "yes" or "no") and make one guess as to both the name of the series and issue number of the comic. There's no set schedule for updates; I'll just update when I have time. First player to five points wins the round.

And a note: the Grand Comic Database is an incredibly wonderful resource. =)

All right - first up!

Was the title an ongoing series at the time of it's release? (As opposed to limited or miniseries)

Is it me or did the slice get smaller! Wink

Here is my question (and I hate to be so specific), but..Is this cover drawn by Jack Kirby?

I swear that looks like a Kirby hand....

It gives me a Fourth World vibe for some reason. But I would buy either Thor or Kamadi.

Is the silver tubing part of a character? As opposed to a lamppost. (spent way too long looking for a hand on Thor's head on an iPod in the last round)

Was the cover drawn by John Byrne?
 
Umm, nevermind. It is a Byrne cover. Fantastic Four (volume 1) 267.
 
It is the photo background that gave it away. I remeber Byrne doing quite a few of them on FF.
 
Sorry to jump to the answer!

I know. I was just kidding. Feebly. I barely had a chance to check out a couple screens worth of Daredevil before you got it. I would have never remembered Doc Ock was in FF and I didn't pick up on the photo cover from that little slice.
