In I Can't Cover What I Am, I spotlight a collection of comic book covers (of at least ten covers) that follow a specific theme.

Today, I will do a spotlight on the wraparound covers that DC did for their line of 100-Page Giant Super Spectaculars during the 1970s. Fans over the years would often only see the front pages of these covers when they were featured online, so I thought it would be nice to show them fully spread open to see the full wraparound artwork from some of the top DC artists of the early 1970s.

DC 100-Page Super Spectacular #6

We kick things off with off with Neal Adams' brilliant look at the DC Universe as a whole at the time.

Superman #245

Murphy Anderson probably didn't use the wraparound aspect of this Superman cover to its full potential here, but it's still a fine cover.

Batman #238

We're back to Neal Adams and he pairs with Dick Giordano for a gorgeous cover that sort of highlights the eclectic nature of these giants, as Batman is paired with the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Our Army at War #242

Joe Kubert is excellent, of course, but he probably didn't use the wraparound effect all that well, either.

Adventure Comics #416

Bob Oksner did this clever look at the female superheroes of the DC Universe.

Flash #214

Nick Cardy did a great wraparound featuring running superheroes for this Flash cover.

Superboy #185

Card did this Superboy one, as well, that served as a sort of teen superhero cover.

Superman #252

Neal Adams returned for this outstanding flying superheroes cover.

100-Page Super Spectacular DC-14

Cardy finished out the wraparound era with first this clever celluloid cover for Batman...

100-Page Super Spectacular DC-15

and then this fairly standard Superboy cover.

After this, the covers went to normal for the rest of the Super Spectacular run.

What a cool looking visual era for DC.
