What is the Long Walk? No googling!  Comic related, I have no clue. All I know is the "Richard Bachman" novella. Was it the distance between Rob Liefeld and his drafting table in the 90's? The distance between Rob Liefeld and the nearest anatomy book? |

That source can't be correct.  I'm wondering if the list included only original covers. While there are many Barks covers, many of them were reprints, a lot were used more than twice. Just think how many time the cover of FC #386 was used. True, no doubt. However, just with Donald Duck, Four Color, and WDC&S, Barks did a few hundred original covers. I don't know the exact count of originals, but Barks is certainly in the top 100. But it does raise an interesting question: Marvel reprinted a lot of pre-hero covers in the early 70's...are those included in those counts...? |

Just think how many time the cover of FC #386 was used. That's correct. The disclaimer reads 'Reprinted story pages are not included in the totals.' It's amazing to think of the volume of work these guys produced. |

What does the word "page" mean in this context? What does "story page" mean? Is it "story pages that were reprinted as covers"? Is it "covers that were reprinted"? ...? |

The 'ADVANCED' GCD search of US Romita covers (I realize it isn't the be all end all number) is almost 1500, way more than the above list, so my guess would be the list doesn't include reprints as the GCD count does. |

Ok...here's an easy one...and not really trivia...but what the heck. Who drew this? (I've removed the sig)  |

When you know the artist and look at the piece you see it right away. But going the opposite direction is a lot different. Good guess. And I see the Colan in it. But...  |

I'm assuming the pencils and inks are by one person, and I always seem to go by the inks as the last piece of this kind of puzzle. It is familiar, but there are aspects that make me question my thought. Bob Layton? He loves the upper arm curves |
