The foil can be applied to the entire cover for a dramatic effect or just to parts of it for a subtler effect that can be used to draw attention to certain parts of the image (covers that are only partially foil are usually referred to as "foil enhanced").
Embossing is a subtler effect than foil, yet it adds a lot of impact to a cover by creating a three dimensional effect that works particularly well with covers that depict, for example, superheroes in action or muscular characters.
Comics with mbossed covers generally do not go up in value as much as foil ones, but embossing adds an interesting effect to covers that would otherwise look fairly ordinary, and it does not add significantly to the cover price of the comic.

A normal issue of a comic with a normal print run and distribution is not worth anything more than the comic itself would be under normal circumstances.
Examples include: Union #1 -- foil stamping and an embossed cover Shadowhawk II #1 -- this has an embossed cover that is also die-cut, as well as an interior foil stamped cover.
Foil On a foil stamped cover, shiny foil is applied to the cover.

 Round the Horne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It normally opened with a deadpan delivery by Horne of the answers to "last week's quiz", a quiz that listeners never heard nor knew about which was laced with (what were for BBC Radio at at that time) incredible double-entendres and sexual innuendo.
One of the most popular sketches was Julian and Sandy, featuring Williams and Paddick as two flamboyantly camp men, with Horne as their comic foil.
They usually ran fashionable enterprises in Chelsea which started with the word 'Bona' (for example 'Bona Pets'), and they spoke in the gay slang Polari.

 Plasm Zero
The second printing is distinguished by a silver-foil "Second Edition" marking on the cover and comic, with the image from the Plasm #0 comic within a frame on a fl background, instead of filling the page like the actual comic cover.

 NEWSARAMA - ORSON SCOTT CARD TO WRITE ULTIMATE IRON MAN
The first issue will reportedly have a foil cover by Bryan Hitch, whose artwork is seen here.
The move by Marvel makes Card the lastest in a series of novelists who have moved to comics for a project or an extended stay, a list which includes Greg Rucka, Brad Meltzer, Kevin Anderson, Michael Moorcock, Mat Johnson, Gary Phillips, Richard Morgan, and others.
But I guess putting Card on the book is really going to cost Marvel, if they are having a foil cover, since probably for justification to have a $4.00 cover price on a 32 page book.

 The Comic Treadmill: July 2004 Archives
This is a top-notch super-hero event comic, bringing together some members of the original run of the JLA for a mystery tale using a large chunk of the DC Universe as the story’s playground.
Comics still have a long way to go, but 18 years ago it was unthinkable that mainstream cultural magazines like Entertainment Weekly (yes, I know it wasn’t around in 1986, but you get the idea) would have a regular feature reviewing comics alongside popular movies, television shows, music and books.
This was an innovative series with a fresh look at the Batman mythos, but it spawned zillions of knock-offs, including the overflow of grim, gritty comics of the late 80’s and early 90’s to the point where many of the innovations are now painfully overused clichés.

 Chapter Two: (I) The Two Gentlemen of Verona
While Launce's account of his farewell is comic, and in its echoing of the serious scene which precedes, it, it provides a light, refreshing contrast, it is, nevertheless, affecting in its own right.
Crab, 'the sowrest natured dogge that liues' (II.iii.5-6), is seen by Launce as being totally unsympathetic to his miseries, and as such Crab represents the generally unfeeling attitude towards the troubles and sorrows of servants.
Despite the suffering implied in these punishments, the account of them is humorous, with the character of Crab, unworthy of his owner's devotion, providing the comic foil to offset the pain, and making the devotion itself comic.
