Thank you everyone for the votes and your patience, and apologies to Icctrombone who no doubt was the victim of grand larceny.
For this weeks contest I thought I'd be a bit contrarian. It is Thanksgiving in America this week, and here in Canada we celebrated the holiday last month. But instead of going with the theme of food and family I thought I'd see what covers the knowledgeable people here could come up with regarding the ALONE, LOST AND FORLORN. This is pretty wide open and allows for a broad spectrum of approaches.
First the scared Contest Constitution:
Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest.
-Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before Jan 1 2004 (this is a classics comic forum and we voted 10 years as the unofficial standard for being a classic).
-Covers must be posted before voting begins.
-Voting runs from 12 AM PST Tuesday until 12 AM Wednesday PST.
-Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most
-Put the name in bold.
-The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period ends.
-The winner chooses the theme for the next week's contest.
-If you don't think the cover fits the theme, don't vote for it, don't post disparaging remarks about it. If a cover is more recent that the Classic time frame, kindly point it out and the poster can choose an alternate before voting begins.
-Have fun !

To kick things off here is the well known Krigstein classic illustrating the theme. I'd say this guy is altogether alone, lost and forlorn!

But as any man, woman or child knows, he had no friends, this Jonah Hex...but he did have two companions...one was death itself, the other, the acrid smell of gunsmoke.

I considered posting this cover to kick things off before I settled on the Piracy option. Nice pick.

I was going to use that, but then I realized I used it for an earlier contest. Awesome cover.

I'm glad you guys are picking up on my intent. Great picks so far. I will add that I am fine with covers showing more than one character on the cover as long as the impression is of being alone.

I thought of a few, which I bet we'll see, but had to go with this one for all kinds of reasons...
