Wallow in covers with searchable site

A friend has pointed us to a fun and fascinating resource -- a site called Cover Browser, that was created in 2006 and has more than 450,000 searchable covers of comic books, pulp magazines and magazine covers for mavens to explore.

It's fun regardless of whether you see them as historical artifacts or reference for magazine design or just general interest. Even more amazing, the searchability is such that you can seek magazines alphabetically, at random or to match a particular pattern or seeks out the most popular or the best and worst 10 covers of all time. In some cases, clicking on a cover opens a fully readable issue of the magazine. [Note: a few of the covers are quite racy or racist reflections of their times, so keep the digitalis handy.]
