"Go after life as if it’s something that’s got to be roped in a hurry before it gets away." --Wild West Wisdom What do you think is the best wild west cover of all time? Space westerns are one of my most favorite genres, but should be celebrated in a separate contest. 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 June 2013. - Please include the title and the issue number of the comic, preferably 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 Tuesday, 10 October 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. - Post no bills. - No implied warranty of suitability is expressed or implied by the presence of a cover. - Disputes are subject to arbitration as set out by the laws of the State of Delaware. - Speak your mind, but ride a fast horse.

I try to steer clear of iconic covers. But it says "best." And I think this is the best. Bat Lash #2 - Nick Cardy.

I would have posted All-Star Western V2 #5, since it is one of my all-time favorite western covers, but since I already won with it a few months back, it's time for a different cover. So this time I'll go with...
Eclipse Monthly #10, July 1984-- Eclipse Enterprises

Kid Colt 35, March, 1954 Russ Heath There are too many outstanding covers in this genre to be able to pick the best...especially when you have the likes of Severin, Carey, Kubert, Maneely, Toth and so many other gifted artists who drew Westerns.

Mighty Marvel Western #44
This was reportedly Gil Kane's personal favourite cover from amongst his Marvel output.

Space westerns are one of my most favorite genres, but should be celebrated in a separate contest. Is there even a west in space??

Fair enough, robot1a, you are correct. I’ve changed mine.
