Here we go with the final batch of Steranko's Marvel covers. We start with his contribution to the romance genre, Our Love Story #5 from 1970... The above cover was reused to lesser effect with the art being cropped 3 years later in 1973's My Love #23 Next up are the first two issues of Shanna, The She-Devil from 1972... Also from 1972, two issues of Supernatural Thrillers the first of which was an adaptation of Theodore Sturgeon's It!, with the second being an adaptation of HG Wells The Invisible Man...
From 1973, Steranko's cover for the first issue of Tex Dawson, Gunslinger...
Western Gunfighters #14 from 1973...
And last, but certainly not least, we have Steranko's 3-issue run on X-Men from 1968 where he redesigns the logo to become the one most associated with the series, albeit sometimes with minor alterations, even today...
And just to round things off, here are a couple of sample pages of Steranko's interior art from those X-Men issues...
So there you have it. He maybe wasn't the most prolific of artists, but certainly one of the most talented. But because of that, this thread has managed to include a copy of each and every cover that Jim Steranko ever drew for Marvel, with only a few later reprints being skipped...after all, we've already featured the originals!

One final addition to the thread though...Steranko's original unused cover for the first issue of the horror anthology series, Tower Of Shadows, from 1969, for which he also included the lead-off strip At The Stroke of Midnight!...

A couple of later additions which slipped through the net. From Marvel's 1980s magazine lines... Marvel Super Special #22 from 1982 Epic Illustrated #19 from 1983
Steranko also produced a couple of covers for FOOM which I'll show here when I find good copies, and also numerous paperback covers which, although slightly off-topic, will round the thread off nicely.
