As much as the act of punching or flying is a timeless hallmark of comic books, a character caught in the grip of another--or is the one grabbing--is just as timeless. So, in honor of people who cannot keep their hands, paws, tentacles and claws to themselves, this week's contest is...
In My Clutches!
EERIE #15 (June, 1968). Cover by Vic Prezio.
Post a cover featuring a character (or characters) with someone in their unwelcome grip. There's no limitation on size, either (e.g. regular sized characters, miniature beings and giants are all acceptable).
The Cover Contest Rules: 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 July 2013. - Please include the title and the issue number of the comic in bold (e.g. Brother Power the Geek #2, DC 1968) in case some posters cannot see your image. - Covers must be posted before voting begins. - Voting takes place on Wednesday, 19 July 2023, beginning at 12:01 am 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 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.

I haven't done this for a while, so apologies if this doesn't QUITE fit, but it definitely popped into my brain as soon as I saw the theme. Justice League of America #10
