Cover Browser. A sister site to the just mentioned Vintage Advertising site is this one, which provides access to over 450,000 covers of books, comics 'and more'. There are thousands of titles available, many of the pulp fiction type, science fiction, war comics, Disney, DC and so on. The content is arranged by title and issue number, but there is also a basic search function by keyword, colour or artist.
Unfortunately the scans are not always very clear, and text on the covers can be difficult to read, though in the case of some of the pulp comics it could be argued that this is not much of a problem! There is also an emphasis on American comics, but it didn't take much work to find some UK examples.
If you have an interest in comics, social history or illustration this site will keep you occupied for hours.
