It can be kind of awkward to do a 13 COVERS tribute to a writer. After all, it’s the artist who did the cover, right?

He not only wrote hundreds of Marvel Family stories, he co-created Mary Marvel, Black Adam, Mr. Mind, Mr. Tawky Tawny, Uncle Dudley and members of the Sivana family.
Binder died more than 40 years ago but his work endures — at least among the comics cognoscenti. Here are 13 COVERS of books featuring his stories and characters:
