Grow-Arm-Hair Lad Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Thought this would be the place to ask. I'm looking for images of piles of dead superheroes. Like, the whole DC roster, or the Marvel roster, or even a pile of superheroes from other creators. I thought this would be an easy search: I'm positive 10% of my comic collection has covers like this*! But my collection is in storage. It's for a Champions campaign I am running, long story, but that's all I got. Please post here if you find any! *I mean, it's a trope that there is a pile of defeated/dead superheroes with the lone villain posing on top of the pile, victorious. Often used to entice readers to buy the comic. Edited April 21, 2023 by Grow-Arm-Hair Lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grow-Arm-Hair Lad Posted April 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 My own trope comment led to to search TV Tropes. Found this. It will help: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AtopAMountainOfCorpses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 I found a few for the Avengers, although they maybe fall short of "piles." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 There is also the cover of the recent update/expansion of the classic Champions adventure, The Island of Dr. Destroyer, by our own Christopher R.

Christopher R Taylor Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) There is a splash page in the original Secret Wars where every hero is dead until accidentally wished back by Dr Doom. as I recall Quote Which, of course, is inspired by a couple of covers by John Byrne Byrne did it better, but I gave it my best shot Edited April 22, 2023 by Christopher R Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
