COMIC BOOK COVER GALLERY: June cover dates acquired in the '60s, '70s, and '80s

This week's Comic Book Cover Gallery welcomes the month of June by casting its dim widdle spotlight on comic books bearing June cover dates. Er...never mind the fact that the routine practice of post-dating comics means that a comic book sporting a "June" cover date probably hit the spinner racks in early Spring. Man, don't let pesky facts get in the way of a good gimmick.

(And we are going strictly with cover dates, which will include a number of bi-monthly titles that list "May-June" in the indicia but proclaim only the latter month on the cover.)

As always, we'll be sticking exclusively to the '60s, '70s, and '80s era of acquisition I've established for these galleries. Today's selections include books I bought new, back issues I acquired after the fact (but within the timeline), and B-stock contraband originally purchased without their covers. These aren't actual photos of comics in my collection; most images are courtesy of the Grand Comics Database, which is grand indeed. But I did have each and every one of 'em at some point in time.
