Remembering Artist Curt Swan
Remembering artist Curt Swan on his birthday (February 17, 1920 - June 17, 1996) with a couple of his all too rare covers for Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane (#78 and #80, of October, 1967 and January, 1968)....though these two covers don't necessarily show that Superman and Lois were in a good place at the time.

Brides In Love
Another mostly forgotten title from Charlton, Brides of Love lasted 45 issues from August 1956 to February 1965, but did feature some incredible art, such of issues #17 and #29, by Joe Sinnott and Vince Colletta.

Happy Valentine's Day With Red Sonja
Red Sonja celebrated Valentine's Day back in 2021, with the Red Sonja Valentine's Day Special, with variant covers by Joseph Michael Linsner and Jimmy Broxton, with Sonja acting very unusual with Kulan Gath in throw back covers to romance comics....
....and, a bonus, the photo cover with cosplay girl Savannah Polson as Red Sonja!

Jason Goes To Hell The Final Friday
An odd adaptation of a movie, with Jason Voorhees and Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday.
3 issues in 1993, by Andy Mangels (from a screenplay by Dean Lorey and Jay Huguely), with art by Cynthia Martin and Allen Nunis...
...and, odder still, from when Topps (usually known for its collectible cards) made a brief foray into the world of comics with the Friday the 13th franchise.
Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday #1 and #2 (July and August, 1993)
.
Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday #3 (September, 1993)

Archie Andrews knows football (as show by Archie #250 of February, 1976, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick)...or does he (as shown by Archie #268 of February, 1978, with unidentified artists).

Remembering Artist Rich Buckler
Remembering artist Rich Buckler on his birthday (February 6, 1949 - May 19, 2017) with a couple of his covers for Secret Society of Super-Villains (#13 and #14, March and April-May, 1978), where Captain Comet, the hero dedicated to fight the villains, gets thrown off the dimensional path, so instead of following them to Earth-2, ends up on Earth-3, where he fights the villains who looked like heroes, the Crime Syndicate of America, specifically Johnny Quick, Superwoman and Power Ring.
