The rodeo chute, that is. Last week's theme of clowns, as well as a book I just got through reading, have me thinking about the rodeo lately. So this week's assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to find comic book covers featuring anything tied to rodeos - that means the setting doesn't necessarily have to be an actual rodeo, just characters engaged in activities associated with the rodeo (riding a bucking bronco or wild bull, roping a calf, lasso tricks, trick riding...). Also, the field's not restricted to traditional rodeo animals, or animals at all (because I'm hoping a certain Bronze Age cover will show up). To illustrate the latter point, here's one to start us off: Abbot and Costello #23 (St. John, 1954)
And you wranglers be sure to follow these rules:
- Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest.
- Cover must be from a published comic book, comic-related magazine, or collected volume published before March 2012.
- Please include also the title of the comic and the issue number in case some posters cannot see your image.
- Covers must be posted before voting begins.
- Voting takes place on Tuesday, March 8, 2022, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59 am PST.
- Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most. Please put the name of your choice 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; please don't post disparaging remarks about it.
- If a cover is more recent than the classic time frame, kindly point it out to the poster, who may then choose an alternate before voting begins.
Good luck, pardners!

Well pardners, I reckon this here cover might be the the one that our amigo EdoBosnar was alluding to in his mighty purdy introduction; featuring my favourite Superman owlhoot Terra-Man in all his glory. Action Comics #469 (DC, 1977, José Luis García-López)

And it's Roh-DAY-Oh, not ROH-Dee-Oh. As someone who used to rodeo...NO. No it's not.

Say it that way when you visit Amarillo and see what happens.
