I'll go ahead and post before the formal announcement of results, since I've got a busy morning ahead of me... This week, let's see covers with characters smashing--or at least slamming, not necessarily breaking--inanimate objects with a hammering drop of their closed fist! The standard rules apply-- - 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 February 2013. - It's helpful if you include the title and the issue number of the comic in bold, in case some posters cannot see your image. - Covers must be posted before voting begins. - Voting takes place on Tuesday, February 21, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59pm PST. - Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most 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 (currently February 2013), kindly point it out to the poster, who may then choose an alternate before voting begins. Have fun! Here's my example entry, KOBRA #6, 1977: (Gotta love 70's cover dialog--how does it follow that destroying a bridge is the final step in conquering the world?

(Gotta love 70's cover dialog--how does it follow that destroying a bridge is the final step in conquering the world? He was going to destroy San Francisco with an earthquake. What would the world do without San Francisco? Don't answer that.
