because I love the colors and pop-art sensibility, I'm going with Crimebuster this week.

Tough choice. I have a few of these Cole-covered comics, and Mask #2 is my favorite. The premise, the facial expressions, the linework...perfection!

I'd've bought most of these books right away.
Bosnar's I would have hocked* if I'd had to.
*Hometown slang when I was a kid for "lifted, pilfered, stolen."

For the second week running, we a tie: a three-way one this time. (I knew last week was a bad omen. ) Can someone who has not yet voted please cast a deciding vote for one of EdoBosnar, DubipR and chaykinstevens.

(...) Bosnar's I would have hocked* if I'd had to. *Hometown slang when I was a kid for "lifted, pilfered, stolen." Interesting local twist on that word. When I was growing up, in Oregon, besides the universally common use to mean spitting ('hock a loogie'), it also meant just the opposite, i.e., selling something, usually in desperation because you need some quick cash.

When I hung out with The "bad" kids in 7-10th grade, they were always "hocking" things from local stores, so much so that if someone had a magazine or a lighter or something, the invariable question was "didja hock it?"
I think the most localized slang I remember is the word "wedge" for what most of the country calls a sub or a hoagie. When Peter Bagge used it in a comic, I immediately checked where he was from, and sure enough, Peekskill, NY.

I don't know about you folks, but I am really missing foxley 's "Smothers Brothers-style" witty final standing wrap-ups at the end of the contest. Didn't have one last week, and looks like we may not get one this week. I guess he's been pressed for time lately.
Foxley, if you're feeling under-appreciated, you've got at least one fan here.

Pretty sure-- you have the tying vote plus one.
The last contest didn't have an official final tally either.

Foxley, if you're feeling under-appreciated, you've got at least one fan here. Thank you. It's nice to know that I'm appreciated.
But the reason for the lack of the wrap-ups is that if there is a tie, usually the tiebreaker vote does not come in until well after I'm in bed. And by the time I'm up, the new contest has usually started so the final tally seems superfluous.
