Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #26

Scooby-Doo strikes a wonderfully self-aware pose on this December 2012 cover, dressed in Renaissance-style robes and wielding a paintbrush — a ghostly blue hand clutching it alongside his paw — in a playful nod to classic portraiture. The tagline "A Ghoulish Gallery of Ghosts!" sets a spooky-yet-silly tone that perfectly captures the series' charm, while Scott Gross's cover art gives the whole scene a warm, museum-worthy atmosphere. With a story titled "The Case of the Dopey Dada" also inside, this issue promises the kind of art-world mystery that only Mystery Inc. could stumble into.
